Charles Hesse Child '25 of Cambridge, was awarded the annual $1500 Lampoon scholarship for foreign study. The award was made at tea yesterday afternoon by J. T. Wheelwright '76, Medals were presented to Child and to William Wilkins Scott '25 of Wellesley, who was second in the scholarship competition.

"Scott has this year brought the Lampoon to as high a level as I have known it," said Mr. Wheelwright, in his speech of presentation. "This he has accomplished by confining the Lampoon's contents to University topics. Child has given the Lampoon equal service and that over a period of four years. His drawings have been the making of the Lampoon."

This is the second annual award of the prize, which was given last year to F. W. Saunders '24. The judges this year were J. T. Coolidge '79, J. Harleston Parker '93, and William Whitman 3d '22. Mr. Parker, in a short speech, declared that, even in the short period of time elapsed since the Lampoon Board first offered the prize, the interest of the editors and the approbation of the student body has increased. Roger Scaife '97, who was the originator of the scholarship plan, also spoke. At the close of the awards Mr. Wheelwright suggested that a permanent record be kept of the winners of the award.

Child has declared his intention of going abroad in June. After several months of study in Paris, he will join his brother, who is in Italy. Besides his drawings for the Lampoon Child has done work for the Independent and completed a number of portraits. This winter he has had two or three small exhibitions in New York City.
