DANTE PRIZE.Three essays for the Dante Prize for 1893 were handed in. The committee of the Dante Society on the awarding of the prize find no one of the essays worthy, in their judgment, of the Latham prize, which was the only one offered this year. They commend, nevertheless, the essays by "G. del Fabro" and "Thomas Alwood"- the one for the form in which the author has set forth his matter, the other for the evidences of research displayed in it.

The essays may be obtained by their respective authors on application at the College Office.
