The prize awarded last year by the Harvard CRIMSON to the best school newspaper will again be awarded this year. The prize was given last year to the Choate News for general excellence by the Senior Editors of the CRIMSON Board. This year's Senior Board has decided to repeat the award.

The competition will again be limited to papers which are members of the School Newspaper Federation. The conditions of the award will be announced at the annual dinner of that body, which is to take place in New York on March 28, by F. V. Field '27, former president of the CRIMSON. The prize will take the form of a silver cup, similar to that which was awarded last year, and again it will become the permanent property of the paper which wins it. The cup will be the gift of this year's Senior Board, but it will be awarded by the CRIMSON.

The same rules will govern the competition as were instituted last year. Each paper competing will submit to the President of the CRIMSON three of its issues of the current year. Of these three issues, two must be regular numbers, and the third may, if desired, be a special issue. These must be submitted before April 15.

The general appearance of the paper, including its make-up, its style, the form and the content of its news columns will form the basis of the award.

It is particularly recommended that one of the three issues submitted by each paper shall contain what is in the opinion of the editors of that paper the best editorial of the current year.

Three judges have been appointed for the contest. F. V. Field '27, retired president of the CRIMSON, J. F. Barnes, president, and H. W. Foote Jr. '27, Editorial Chairman, will award the cup.
