NEWS AND PRINCETONIAN FOLLOW LEAD OF CRIMSON

The Yale Daily News announced last week a prize essay contest on the subject: "What one particular policy, plan, or improvement would you like best to see extended or inaugurated at Yale?" On Wednesday, April 1, the Daily Princetonian closes a similar contest on the subject, "Princeton's Greatest Need."

These contests, modelled on the same lines as the recent CRIMSON competition, have been substituted for the popularity contests originally proposed. The News contest subject follows the exact wording of that set in the CRIMSON contest.

The award in each contest is identical with that to be made to the CRIMSON prize winner, whose name will be announced, before the spring recess. The winners of the News and Princetonian contests will travel in the same party with the Harvard representative on a six weeks' tour of Europe. These travel scholarships which enable the college representative to make the voyage are given by the United States Lines.

Professor and Mrs. Herling of Princeton will be in charge of this tour, acting in the caacity of chaperones and as counsellors to those who request advice. Both the professor and his wife are experienced travelers.

The Princeton contest does not resemble the CRIMSON contest, just closed, so closely as does the News competition. In the subject proposed and the qualities upon which the essays will be judged, all three papers are in agreement.

The Princetonian allows the essayist greater space for his criticism, setting the limit at 2500 words. As the last requirement, the Princetonian joins the CRIMSON in soliciting constructive criticisms.

It has been arranged that, if the winner of the Princeton contest prefers, he may take a trip of his own planning, not to exceed $586 in cost. Similar arrangements will be made for the CRIMSON prize essayist, if he so desires.

Although the party on the regularly conducted tour will be comparatively large in size. It will be possible for congenial groups to be formed. None except college men and women will be included in the tour. Columbia is also sending a representative chosen through the Spectator.
