The Boylston Medical Committee, appointed by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, annbunce the Boylston Medical Prizes, which are open to public competition, for the best dissertation on the results of original research in medicine, the subject to be chosen by the writer. For the year 1915 a prize of $300 and the Boylston Prize Medal is offered, preference being given to dissertations which exhibit original work. If no dissertation is considered worthy of the prize, the award may be withheld.

All dissertations entered, for this prize must be in the hands of the Secretary of the Boylston Medical Committee, H. C. Ernst, M.D., Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass., on or before December 31, 1915.

Each dissertation must bear, in place of the author's name, some sentence or device, and must be accompanied by a sealed packed, bearing the same sentence or device, and containing within the author's name and residence. Any clue by which the authorship of a dissertation is made known to the Committee will debar such dissertation from the competition.

Dissertations must be printed or typewritten, and their pages must be bound in book form. Unsuccessful dissertations may be obtained, with the sealed packet unopened, if called for within one year after they have been received.
