A Radcliffe freshman and a second-year graduate student carried off the monetary prizes in two '47 literary competitions, the results of which were disclosed late last week by the Secretary of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Barbara K. Smyth, Radcliffe '50, won the John Osborne Sargent Prize for the best metrical translation of a lyric poem Horace. The award amounts to $200.
James B. Horigan 2G received a $150 presentation as the Bowdion Prize for Graduates (Classics). The award calls for an original essay in Greek or Latin of not less than 3000 words with the topic left up to the entrant's discretion.
To be eligible for the Bowdoin Prize in the Classics, a man must be the holder of an academic degree. He must have been in residence at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences for a full year between 1944 and 1946.
