The first annual contest for the Lee Wade, II, prizes in Public Speaking will be held in Sanders Theatre, Wednesday evening, March 31, at 8 o'clock. The contest is open to all students enrolled as Sophomores, Juniors, or Seniors in Harvard College. The sum of fifty dollars will be awarded in three prizes of $25, $15, and $10; or if in the opinion of the judges some other form of award should seem more fitting, the sum may be differently apportioned, according to the comparative merits of the speakers. By the terms of the gift, all the contestants will be required to speak the same selected speech or piece of literature.
A preliminary trial will be held in Sanders Theatre, Saturday morning, March 20, from 9.30 to 12.30. Students who wish to enter the contest will meet Professor Winter in Holden Chapel, today at 5 o'clock or at 7.30, tomorrow between 2 and 4 P. M. or Saturday between 9.30 and 10.30 A. M., when the details of the contest will be fully explained.
The Lee Wade, II, prizes for Public Speaking have been established by Dr. and Mrs. Francis Henry Wade, in memory of their son, Lee Wade II, who died July 8th, 1914, within less than three weeks after his graduation at Harvard.
