The contest this year is the third annual one to be held under the supervision- of the New York Times and is open to any resident under- graduate of the University who has not completed four years of college work since graduation.' from his preparatory school. The contest will The held on the afternoon of April 20, and the period of events to be covered, date from May 1, 1927, until the date of the contest. Several imnortant changes in the rules covering the contest this year have been made . In an effort to en- courage more students to pArticipate in the' contest, it was decided th'at the local prize of $250 be divided into three smaller prizes of $150, $75, and $25. This was done in hopes that more students might enter the contest and to give the students a better opportunity of %inning one of the prizes. The second prize of $75 will be awarded to the sophomore or fresh- man making the highest score, as last year one-third of the entrants here were underclassmen. Only the first prize winner at each of the 20 competing universities .is disqualified' from future competition for the prizes, as under the new arrange-1 ment which was suggested this year, the second and third prize winners will not be eliminated in the future. Another important change was made by eliminating the 'second examination which had been given in the past to the winners at each of the competing colleges and univer- sities. The questions for the local contests were formerly set by each of .the local committees but this year ' an Executive Committee of the coun- cil'will set the examination the same for all the schools. The best paper ii each institution will be forwarded to this committee which will then make the final award, the grand prize of $500. The time of the examination has been changed this year to a three- hour period. In 1926, the first year of the contest, a four-hour period was appointed while in 1927, five hours was granted for the writing of the examination. These experiments were not found to be satisfactory, and it is hoped that this shorter period will be better. Copies of the examination. which was given last year may be obtained from Professor Brown or any other member of the committee which con- sists of Prof. Preston W. Slosson, of the history department, Prof. John L. Brumm, of the journalism de- partment, Prof. John V. Van Sickle, of the economics department, and Prof. Waldo M. Abbot, of the rhetoric department.

Lawrence Lowell., of Harvard university. "American secondary schools," he declared in his1 annual report to the Harvard board ofi overseers, "do not complete thec secondary teching that ought to be{ done at the age our young men come1 to college. The result is that with the longer preparation now required for professional and business life, the young -man does not being his active, career until a later age than is wise. J "An artisan at the .age of 20 may be earning as large an income and be as well able to support a family as he ever will be, but his contemporary who is looking forward to the bar or to medicine, is only half way through college at the time. The ordinary age of entering an American college is over 18, so that if the young man com- pletes his four years before begin- ning his professional studies, he is over 22 at graduation." President Lowell does not believe that sending a boy to .college at the age of 17 places him at a disad- vantage socially or athletically.
