For a number of years past a prize of one hundred dollars has been offered by John Osborne Sargent of the class of 1830 for the best metrical translation of an Ode of Horace. The ode to be translated this year is the sixteeth of the third book. The competition is open to undergraduates of Harvard and students of the "Annex." If no competitor appears to deserve the prize, it may be withheld. The versions must be deposited with the Dean before the first of May, 1892. They must be written under an assumed name, and accompanied by a sealed envelope containing both the assumed and the real name of the writer.
