BOYLSTON PRIZE WINNERS

At the final trials for the Boylston Prizes in elocution, which were held in Sanders Theatre last evening, the two first prizes were awarded to F. A. Wilmot '10, of Boston, and H. von Kaltenborn '09, of Madison, Wisconsin. O. L. M. H. Lyding '09, of Peekskill, N. Y., D. M. Osborne '09, of Auburn, N. Y., and C. R. Small '09, of Cambridge, took the second prizes.

The speeches were chosen with care and were representative not only of political debating but also of well-known works in English poetry and prose. They dealt with former political problems, with important issues of past times, and with heroic deeds and actions; one or two were selections chosen to play upon the sympathies of the audience. The competitors gave evidence of careful preparation and, in nearly every case, spoke forcibly and with confidence.

F. A. Wilmot '10 spoke with convincing earnestness and was noticeably successful in the use of effective gestures. H. von Kaltenborn '09 delivered a difficult piece with careful intonation and perfect ease.

The selections of the prize winners were as follows: F. A. Wilmot '10, "The Man without a Country," Hale; H. von Kaltenborn '09, "Gentlemen, the King!" Barr; O. L. M. H. Lyding '09, "The Prisoner of Chilion," Byron; D. M. Osborne '09, "Toussaint L'Ouverture," Phillips; C. R. Small '09, "The March of the Flag," Beveridge.

F. H. Burr '09 introduced the speakers. The judges were: A. Adams '99, Professor J. H. Beale '82, W. R. Castle, Jr., '00, Rev. P. R. Frothingham '86, Hon. R. Grant '73, T. N. Perkins '91, R. L. Raymond '95, G. B. Shattuck '63, Hon. J. A. Sullivan, and Dr. J. C. Warren '63.
