The prize, which amounts to an annual income of $1175, may be won by any undergraduate or graduate student in the University or in Radcliffe College.

In special cases the committee may not require the thesis. In the event that all the theses should prove unsatisfactory, the committee has announced that it will reserve the right to refuse the granting of the award. The successful thesis will be published in the "Harvard Studies in Classical Philology" and its author will study during the year of his incumbency at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, devoting himself to any of the following subjects: Greek History, Literature, Art, Archaeology, Epigraphy, and Topography.
