Boston University and Wellesley College. In announcing its plans, the Calvert Round Table declares that it has established the contests, because of a "feeling that national unity may be seriously threatened by religious and racial misunderstanding", and because of the organization's desire to promote good will, appreciation of each other's sincere spiritual convictions, and the elimination of unworthy religious and racial prejudices."
