Ten finalists in the Boylston Speech competition will recite selections ranging in content from Faulkner to Sophocles, Tuesday evening in Paine Hall at 8 p.m.
Boylston Prizes were founded in 1817 "for the delivery of memorized selections from English, Greek, or Latin literature," in honor of Nicolaus Boylston. The competition provides five cash awards to undergraduates in good standing who reach the finals, with two top prizes of $35 each.
Frederick C. Packard Jr., associate professor of Public Speaking, will officiate. Judges are Emerson College President Justin McKinley, State Senator Charles Innes, and the Reverend Duncan Howlett of the First Church, Boston.
Previous winners include George Santayana and Charles William Eliot.
