BOYLSTON PRIZES AWARDED

At the final speaking for the Boylston Prizes in elocution held in Sanders Theatre last evening the first two prizes were awarded to I.L. Sharfman '07 and G.J. Hirsch '07, and the second prizes to A.R. Ellis '07, M. Allen '08 and E.F. Tyson '07.

A large proportion of the speeches were taken from political debates, but as the men spoke well this was not monotonous. The speakers all showed the results of careful training and delivered their speeches clearly and forcibly and with firmness and confidence.

The selections of the prize winners were as follows: I.L. Sharfman '07, "The Puritan Principle: Liberty under the Law," Curtis; G.J. Hirsch '07, "The Faith of Mahomet," Carlyle; A.R. Ellis '07, "Gunga Din," Kipling; M. Allen '08, "Speech on General Amnesty," Schurz; E.F. Tyson '07, "The Better Part," B.T. Washington.

J.D. White '07 introduced the speakers. The judges were Rev. T.I. Gasson, president of Boston College, Professor F.J. Stimson '76, Hon. A.J. Peters '95, J.D. Greene '96, H. Bancroft '97, J.F. Curtis '99, and W.R. Castle, Jr., '00.
