Idris Deane Jones 1G, of Oxford, England, and Dison Hsueh-feng Poe 2G, of Changshuku, China, have been announced first and second winners of the prize essay contest conducted by the Union. Their essays were selected from the large number of contributions by a board of judges, consisting of Professor A. C. Hanford G'17, Professor K. G. T. Webster '93, and Professor C. H. C. Wright '91.
Jones' essay, entitled "American Aboriginal Documents", is a satire on American universities and deals from a standpoint of centuries hence with excavations and research conducted then on the present sites of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Poe's contribution is a brilliantly colorful account of the difficulties which a foreign student must encounter in coming to an American University.
