THE SUMNER PRIZE.An annual prize of one hundred dollars, the gift of Charles Sumner, of the class of 1830, is offered for the best dissertation by a student of the University in any of its departments on a subject connected with the topic of Universal Peace and the methods by which War may be permanently superseded.

The subjects for 1886-67 are: The effect of Military Conscription on the frequency and duration of wars. - The experience of the past half century in the light it throws upon the possible general resort to Arbitration as a substitute for War.

Dissertations must be deposited at the President's office on or before May 1, 1887.

FORENSICS.Final Examination. Lists of subjects for the junior examination must be handed in on or before Tuesday, June 22.

Duplicate lists should be written on separate cards, each the size of a postal card. The lists should not be written on paper slips, and must be written on one side of each of the cards used. Care must be taken to hand in both the duplicate lists, each being precisely like the other in all respects.

The titles of the subjects should be given in full. Special care should be taken to avoid any proposal of topics now on the excluded list.

Lists may be handed to Prof. Royce or to Mr. Gates, or may be mailed to either. But the instructors cannot be responsible for any lists not actually delivered to them personally.

Any failure to hand in a list at the proper time, or any proposal of inadmissible topics, may seriously interfere with the success of the student in question. Owing to the shortness of the time, and the number of persons concerned, the instructors cannot undertake to correct any mistakes as to these matters. Especial care should therefore be taken to conform to the foregoing rules.

The new list of Excluded Topics is now ready at U. 5. Additions have been made to the list of approved topics in the Manuscript Book at the Library.

Any topic contained either in the Forensic Pamphlet for 1884-85 or in the Manuscript Book at the Library, and not contained in the List of Excluded Topics, may be chosen as an examination Topic. Topics outside the approved lists may be chosen with the consent of the Instructor.

The junior forensic thesis will be returned, Monday, June 21.

Duplicate lists of examination topics, and junior examination books will be received in Sever 3 on Tuesday, June 22, from 3 to 4 p.m.
