DETUR PRIZES TO BE AWARDED TO 33 MEN

Upon the excellence of their last year's academic work, 33 members of the University have been awarded Deturs or book prizes given to men, who, for the first time, have won a position in the first group of scholars.

Although the winners have been already announced by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the prizes are not yet ready for distribution, but will be awarded in April. This year a precedent has been broken in that the books will not have their usual uniform binding. Since the war the conventional morocco binding has been extremely hard to obtain, end, as a result, a some-what less expensive binding has been chosen. In this way the value of the books has been decreased and where formerly a single volume was awarded, it is now possible to award more than one.

Deturs are awarded as the result of a foundation established by Edward Hopkins a London merchant and former Governor of the Connecticut Colony who came to America in 1637. His will expresses his desire "to give some encouragement in those foreign plantations. for the breeding up of hopeful youths, both at the grammar school and college, for the public service of the country in future times."
