THREE years ago last autumn a vote of the Faculty excluded Sophomores from competition for the Boylston Elocution Prizes. The gentleman who edited the Catalogue that year, and who ought to have recorded this fact, seems to have cut out the portion of the old Catalogue referring to these prizes, and to have pasted it into his manuscript. At any rate, no mention of the change was made, and as the example was followed in the succeeding Catalogues, we are still informed in the official Publication of the College that members of the three upper classes are allowed to compete. Whether this is fair, we leave to our community to judge.
