The Library Committee of the Harvard Union announces that March 1 is the last day on which competitors for the Union Prize Essay may hand in their manuscripts. A first prize of $100 and a second prize of $50 will be awarded for the two best essays on any subject of the author's own choosing.
The length of the essay must not exceed 2500 words and it must be legibly written or typewritten upon paper of good quality. The title page of each manuscript must bear an assumed name and the writer must hand in at the desk in the Union Library with his essay a sealed letter containing his true name and superscribed with his assumed name.
The quality of the writing is of predominant importance in the decision of the judges and competitors are advised to write as if they intended their work to be printed in a first-rate literary magazine.
