Today is the late date on which students may enter the competitions for the Lee Wade and Boylston Prizes for elocution. The selections which each contestant plans to give must be approved by Professor C.T. Copeland today.
Professor Copeland, Boyloston professor of Rhetoric, will hold office hours this morning in Hollis 15 at 10.15 o'clock and in Sever 11 at 1 o'clock this afternoon for any members of the Sophomore, Junior or Senior classes who would like advice on a selection or who wish to have a selection approved.
The winner of the Lee Wade Prize last spring was Donald Wait Keyes '25, who recited "Henry Hudson's Last Voyage" by Henry Van Dyke. The first Boylston Prize was won by Edward John Metzdorf for his delivery of "The Trial of Abner Barrow" by Richard Harding Davis.
Other selections which were recited and which won prizes were "Caught in the Quicksands" by Victor Hugo, and "A Return in Defeat" by Henry W. Grady.
