One of Harvard's most highly prized scholarships will be opened to students from preparatory schools planning to enter the College it was announced yesterday at University Hall. The scholarship, amounting to over $500, was established in 1886 by Judge John Lowell in memory of his son, George Emerson Lowell.
For nearly 50 years, the scholarship has been awarded to upper classmen in Harvard College. This year, in order to encourage excellence in Latin and Greek studies among entering students, it has been decided to open the scholarship to preparatory school students as a prize award in the classics.
Last year, in testing the new plan of awards, examinations were held at six preparatory schools and an award was made to Walter Stanley White '36, of Cambridge, a student at Phillips Exeter Academy, and now a Freshman here. On the basis of this test, plans are being prepared for a still wider application of the competition this year, and participation by a large number of schools is expected. Prize examinations in Latin and Greek will be prepared by the Department of Classics at Harvard and given at the various participating schools. Plans for the competition are in charge of A. E. Hindmarsh, assistant dean.
