Countee Cullen, 1G, has been awarded the Witter Bynner Undergraduate Poetry Prize for 1925. The judges of the Poetry Society of America's Undergraduate Contest, Sara Teasdale, George Sterling, and the donor, unanimously decided that Cullen, who is a Negro, should receive the $150 prize. For two years Cullen had held second place. When he wrote the poems that brought him the award, he was an undergraduate at New York University.
Lucius Beebe '27, placed fourteenth among those receiving honorable mention.
For 1926, Mr. Bynner, whose co-judges will be Rose O'Neill and Vachel Lindsay, offers the prize under the auspices of Palms, of which he is an associate editor. His Excellency Jose G. Zuno, Governor of Jalisco, offers the winner free fare from the American border to Guadalajara, Mexico, and a term of free tuition in the University of Guadalajara.
