Ten students will compete in the finals of the first Boylston Speaking Contest to be held in three years on Wednesday, March 26, in Paine Hall.
Two first prizes of $70 and three second prizes of $40 will be awarded to the winners. The prizes are larger than those ordinarily given because none have been awarded since the last contest in 1943.
The finalists, who were selected from a field of 20 students competing in the preliminary contest held last Wednesday, are: Robert L. Fischelis '50, Edward A. W. Franklin '47, William P. D. Bailey '46. J. Jay Hughes '48, Michael D. Dawson '46, Robert K. Bingham '48, Henry P. Robbins '48, Paul C. Richter '46, Paul L Wright '49, and Lawrence Creshkoff '46.
Judges will be Thomas H. Eliot '28, former member of Congress; Harvey H. Bundy, former special assistant to Secretary of War; Charles P. Curtis, Jr. '13, co-editor of The Practical Cogitator; and Calvert Magruder, Judge of the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
