MANY RETAINED IN LEE WADE, BOYLSTON TRIALS

Because of the excellence of most of the speakers at the preliminary trials for the Boylston and Lee Wade Prize Speaking Awards, 21 competitors were picked by the judges yesterday. Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock these men will meet in Emerson D to compete in further trials, when it is hoped that the ten finalists will be selected.

It was also learned yesterday that the final contest will be held in the large lecture room of the Fogg Museum instead of in Sanders Theater, subject to the approval of the President. This event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 30. This year 47 men competed in the trials, a larger number than have reported since 1927.

Those who have been retained are: Albert Allen '33, D. J. Boorstin '34, P. H. Cohen '32, A. J. DeVoto '33, D. B. Edmonston '32, A. L. Gordon '34, M. A. Hoffman '34, I. C. Lebenson '34, A. P. Levack '32, M. J. Litwack '34, M. F. Lowenstein '32, Cecil Lubell '33, H. E. Magnuson '34, T. I. Moran '32, H. D. Patterson '34, S. M. Peyser '34, A. E. Phillips '34, Leo Srole '33, D. M. Sullivan '33, and J. C. Willis '32.

The awarding of these prizes is usually in charge of the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory. Since this position has been left vacant by the resignation of Professor Charles Townsend Copeland '82, the management of the competition has been placed in the hands of F. C. Packard '20, assistant professor of Public Speaking, who is being assisted by W. S. Howell, instructor in Public Speaking.
