Trustees Vote Extra Awards

The extra awards were voted by the Trustees of the Foundation as the result of many letters received from educators, university professors and others, all over the country, who felt that such prizes would add greatly to the value and interest of the contest by providing contestants with a larger number of chances to win.

"Hearty approval of the Contest," said Mr. Morgenthau, "has come from all quarters. Such men as President Green, of the American Federation of Labor Governor Ritchie of Maryland, the Honorable John Spargo, and Mr. Haley Fiske, President of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, have not only endorsed the contest, but have cooperated actively. They have done so because they feel that this is not a scheme to create converts to the Democatic cause, but to broaden the outlook of our young men and young women with regard to principles and policies that far transcend in significance any division along party lines."
