T' Hopwood
Awards Spur
Young Writers
Contests Entering Twelfth
Year; $10,000 Given
In Each Competition I
Contributing highly for over a dec-
adle toward establishing the literary
fame of the University and stimulat-
ing student creative effort have been
the Avery and Jule Hopwood awards.
Under the terms of the will of
Avery Hopwood, prominent American
dramatist and member of the class of
'05, one-fifth of the Hopwood estate
was set aside and given to the Board
of Regents for the encouragement
of creative work in Ni-itine.
In the 12 years the awards have
been given, the have amounted to
nearly $10,000 a year. Nowhere else
in the world does a university offer
suh large prizes to its students in the
field of writing.
The bequest of Avery Hopwood
states, "It is especially desired that
the students competing for the prizes
shall not be confined to academic
subjects, but shall be allowed the
widest possible latitude, and that the
new, the unusual, and the radical
shall be especially encouraged."
The income from the bequest is
split into major and minor awards.
Eligibility for the major awards is
confined to senior and graduate stu-
dents: but all undergraduate students
are eligible for minor awards pro--
vided they meet the general condi-
tions for the contests.
Separate Hopwood competitions
are also held for freshman and sum-
mer school students.
As early as 1931, one year after the
Regents accepted the Hopwood be-
quest, publishers began to be inter-
ested in the results of the contests,
and they are accepting prize-winning
manuscripts in increasing numbers.
"November Storm," by Jay McCor-
mick, '42, winner of last year's major
fiction award, will be published soon
by Doubleday Doran.
Supplementing the fame of the
Hopwood contests have been the
writers chosen each year to deliver
the annual Hopwood lecture, prior to
the announcement of the winners.

U'Will Offer
Varied Speech
Opportunities
Department Has Widened
Field To Include Radio,
Plays, Speech Science
The University Speech Department,
founded fifty years ago by Professor
Thomas C. Trueblood, offers the best
in "word of mouth" to Michigan stu-
dents.
From a humble beginning wherein
only public speaking, debating and
interpretation were offered, the de-
partment has widened its field to in-
clude play production, speech science,
and radio. Professor G. E. Densmore
is chairman of the deartment.
To give the students an opportun-
ity for practical application of the
speech studies, various outside activi-
ties have been developed. The general
theme of these projects for the com-
ing year is "Post War World Organi-
zation".
Included among these are oratori-
cal contests under the direction of
Dr. LE M. Eich. The University is a
member of the Northern Oratorical
League which includes six colleges in
the midwest. Each year the Univers-
ity holds a local contest to choose the
representative in the finals. Last year,
Paul Lim-Yuen, '43, a Chinese stu-
dent who spoke on the Pacific Char-
ter, was voted an unanimous first
place in the finals at Northwestern.
Only once before in the 53 year his-
tory of the contest has the first place
decision been unanimous. Any eligi-
ble student may compete in these
contests.
The Men's Varsity Debate Team,
which consisted of 25 men last year,
is under the direction of Dr: Arthur
Secord. The debate team meets Big
Ten schools, a number of other Mich-
igan colleges and universities, and a
large number of schools in other
parts of- the country.
The Women's Varsity Debate team,
also under the direction of Dr. Se-
cord, meets several other squads each
year, and four women traveled to
Purdue last year for the round table
discussions held there. The girls also
debate in Big Ten contests.
The National Honorary Speech So-
ciety, Delta Sigma Rho, has a chap-
ter at Michigan, and an-y student who
represents the University in speech
contests is eligible for membership
after his or her junior year.
