The CRIMSON prize essay contest will be decided today at a joint meeting of the Managing Editor and the Board of Judges. The winner will be awarded a scholarship of the value of $600 which will entitle him to travel on a United States Lines tour of Europe in a party conducted by the Students' Tours Association of Princeton, N.

At the present time, all of the essays submitted have been read by each of the judges, and by common agreement the five most satisfactory have been selected for final judgement.

The judges of the contest are Professor Bliss Perry, Mr. D. M. Little '18, and Dean E. A. Whitney '17. The standards which they have set for the winning essay include keen recognition of some needed correction and soundness of constructive criticism, combined with literary excellence and taste in style.
