Wins Declamation Prize

Yesterday evening in Paine Concert Hall Hugh Maury Hite ocC. of Cambridge was awarded the Medaille France-Amerique for the best declamation in French on a subject drawn from the history of French civilization. He chose as his title "M. Raymond Poincare", and told incidents of the latter's family and education. He went on to show how the great French President reflects the sentiment of all France, and quoted several passages from his works.

De Vaux de Lancey '24 of Brandon, Vt., and Meyer Rubin '24 of Malden were awarded honorable mention.

The judges were Professor E. B. Hill '94 of the Music department, Professor J. J. Haffner, of the Architectural department, and Associate Professor Louis Allard, of the French department.
