Material Will be Shown in Chamber of Commerce Building Today

The advertisements admitted in this year's competition for the Harvard Advertising Awards of the Business School founded by Edward Bok in 1923, will be on exhibition today and tomorrow in the Chamber of Commerce Building in Boston.

These advertisements have passed under the scrutiny of the juries which will award the $14,000 in prizes to the winners in the competition, but final judgment has not yet been passed on them.

The exhibit which gives the general public a chance to see the material produced by the competitors will be on the eleventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building, which is located at 80 Federal Street in Boston. The material has all appeared in periodicals of Canada and the United States and consists of the advertising of material, local, and industrial campaigns, and of individual advertisements effective in the use of typography, illustrations and text.

Donham Appoints Jurors

Twelve jurors were appointed in December by Dean W. Donham of the Harvard Business School. A special jury was also chosen at the same time to pick the advertisement which was the most effective in the use of typography.
