Prizes for Orations of Peace

The Massachusetts Peace Society has offered a first prize of $100 and a second prize of $75 for winners of the Massachusetts Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest. The subject of the orations will relate to International Peace and Arbitration. The competition will probably be held in Boston of April 15, 1914. The winner of the first prize is expected to speak in a Group Contest to be held among the Eastern colleges a few days later. The winners of the Group Contest are to go the last week in May to the Lake Mohonk Conference of International Arbitration where, after a final competition, the national prizes will be award.

Although the University will not be represented in the state contest this year, a local competition is likely to be held here under the auspices of the Speakers' Club, for which Dr. James L. Tryon, Secretary of the Massachusetts Peace Society announces a special prize of $50.
