Speakers Lowe, Pell Win Boylston Prizes

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Keith D. Lowe '60 and Ernest E. Pell '59 last night won the coveted Boylston Prizes for Elocution. James C. Marlas '59, Mark J. Mirsky '61, and John S. Wolfson '60 each received second prizes in the contest, one of the University's oldest and most distinguished.

Participants in the contest delivered a five to seven minute selection from a literary work. Pell's selection came from Erwin D. Canham's "The Authentic Revolution," and Lowe chose the speech of the Devil from Man and Superman, by George Bernard Shaw.

Judges were Rev. Frank D. McCloy, Jr. A.M. '42, associate professor and former dean of Western Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Paul C. Reardon '32, Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court, and Matthew P. Gaffney, Roy Edward Larsen Professor of Education.
