PRIZE CONTESTS.

Most of the prizes which are open to competition in the University offer little besides experience to those who have the misfortune to be very slightly inferior to the winners.

This recognition, however disproportionate to the amount of preparation which the recipients bestow upon their contributions, should make failure less disappointing, and should increase the number of candidates.
