The Francis Boott Prise of $100 for this year will be awarded to the composer of the best place of vocal concerted music which has four or more voices. The competition, which ends April 1, 1924, is open to all graduates and undergraduates of the University.

The words of the composition may be sacred or secular, with or without accompaniment. According to the wishes of Mr. Boott, the donor of the prize, if the words are of a sacred character the type of music exemplified in Mozart's "Cherabine" in desirable. The prize will not be awarded unless the winning manuscript is considered by the judges to be worthy of it.
