TWO UNIVERSITY MEN WIN DESIGN CONTEST PRIZES

Two Harvard men were winners in the recent Whitney Warren Architectural Prize Design Contest, which offers cash prizes amounting to $75 to the contributors of the most approved set of drawings on a given specific problem. C. C. Kressbach 3G. was the winner of first place and third place was won by Takashi Matsumoto 1G., students in the School of Architecture, it was announced last night in a statement to the CRIMSON. This is the first time that a Harvard student has ever won first place in the contest, but for several years the University has always had some entry who won a place in the competition.

Because he had not entered the contest the year before, Kressbach was not given the first prize money of $50, but was declared winner of first honors. For a similar reason, the winner of the second place cash award of $25 also failed to receive his money. Matsumoto, winner of third place, was given honorable mention.

The competition is held annually, and is conducted by the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design as a national problem contest.
