Registration for all men intending to compete for one of the University's oldest awards, the Boylston and Lee Wade Public Speaking Prizes, will close at 5 o'clock, Monday afternoon, at Holden Chapel. All Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores in good standing are eligible for the competition.

The final contest will be held in Sanders Theatre on Wednesday, April 2. Preliminary trials will take place on Friday, March 7, when ten finalists will be chosen. The Lee Wade prize of $50 will be awarded to the winner of the contest. The first Boylston prize of the same amount will go to the next best speaker, and the other two $35 Boylston prizes will be given to the men who secure third and fourth places. The Lee Wade prize was established by Dr. Francis Henry Wade in 1915, in memory of his son whose name the prize bears, and who participated in the Boylston contest while in College. The Boylston prizes were founded in 1817 by Ward Nicholas Boylston in honor of his uncle Nicholas Boylston who established the Boylston professorships.

These prizes are usually in charge of the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory. Since this position has been left vacant by the resignation of Professor Charles Townsend Copeland '82, the management of the Competition has been placed in the hands of Professor F. C. Packard '20. Professor Copeland, who twice took part in the competitions while in college, has this year consented to be one of the judges.
