The Boylston Prizes for Elocution are awarded to seniors and juniors at a public competition on the second Thursday in May. The students speak, not their own compositions, but selections from English, Greek, or Latin authors; the proportion in English is to be at least two out of three. The selections have to be approved by the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory.
The Corporation, and gentlemen selected by the Corporation, will act as judges, and award the prizes as follows:
Two first prizes, of sixty dollars each; and three second prizes of forty-five dollars each. The first prizes may be withheld if none of the competitors appear to deserve them.
