TEN JUNIORS, SENIORS SEEK BOYLSTON PRIZES

Ten Seniors and Juniors meet in competition for the time-honored Boylston Prizes for Elocution at 8 o'clock tonight in the Music Building. A $50 first prize and two second awards of $35 will go to the three top declaimers.

An ancient tradition, the Prizes were founded in 1817 by Ward Nicholas Boylston in honor of his uncle, Nicholas Boylston, who established the Boylston Professorship. At first most of the speeches given were either in Latin or Greek, but today only one selection, an excerpt from Plate, will be delivered in a Classic language.

"Copey" Honorary Judge

Charles Townsend Copeland '82, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, emeritus, will again act as honorary judge. Professor Copeland conducted the competitions regularly until his retirement in 1928.

Rendering the decisions will be William C. Greene '11, associate professor of Greek and Latin; Howard Mumford Jones, professor of English; Stuart Montgomery '08; and Edward A. Weeks, Jr. '22.

Those speaking tonight, in order of their appearance, are: James J. Patiee, Jr. '41, Allan B. Ecker '41, Howard S. Nemeroy '41, John W. Sever '40, John B. Fisher '41, Robert A. Brooks '40, Elliot L. Richardson '41, Stanley O. Beven '41, Jonas N. Muller '40, and Richard B. Wolf '41.
