ADVOCATE OFFERS PRIZES

Six General Topics Announced on Which Undergraduates May Compete.

The Advocate announces a literary competition for undergraduates in which a first prize of $200 and a second prize of $50 are offered. Six subjects are announced as follows: Athletics at Harvard as a Sport for its Own Sake; Shall Athletics at Harvard be made Compulsory in order to Count for a Degree; Section Meetings versus the Tutorial System; The Unknown Student at Harvard; How Shall the Intellectual Curiosity of Harvard Men be Stimulated; Shall the Price of Education at Harvard be Reduced? These subjects have intentionally been phrased so that writers can take any point of view they choose.

Manuscripts must be between 2000 and 6000 words, and must be handed in by April 1, 1913. The committee in charge of the contest is made up of H. R. Carey '13, Mr. Thomas Baldwin '73, and Mr. William Roscoe Thayer '81.
