POLYTECHNIC SENIOR WINS 1927 HARVARD CUP AWARD

Polytechnic School, Brooklyn, N. Y., June 6.--The award of the Harvard Cup for 1927 to Joseph Dana Allen Jr. was announced here today by Dr. E. S. Hawes, former Poly professor. This cup is awarded annually to that member of the graduating class who in the opinion of the judges has best upheld Harvard ideals throughout his school career. A committee of Harvard men on the school faculty acted as judges in making the award, and Dr. Hawes in his presentation speech gave a brief outline of ideals for which the cup stands.

This year's recipient of the award is distinguished chiefly by several scholarship honors which he has won and his position as the leading orator and debater in his class.
