Of the thirty-four men who spoke on Saturday morning at the preliminary trial to select speakers for the Boylston prizes for elocution, thirteen have been retained for the final trial on Thursday, and will speak in the following order, which has been drawn by lot: W.

C. McDermott '03, and S. Thurman '03.
