By CINDY REAGAN
Nowhere else in the world does
a university offer such large prizes
in the field of composition as does
the University's annual Avery and
Jule Hopwood contest in creative
writing, whose winners for the year
of 1945-46 will be announced after the
Hopwood lecture Tuesday.
Hopwood was a prominent Ameri-
can dramatist and a member of
the class of 1905 of the University.
In his will made in 1922 one-fifth
of his estate was set aside and given
to the Regents of the University for
the encouragement of creative work
in writing. During the 14 years the
awards have been given, they have
amounted to $8,500 a year.
Hopwood emphasized in the be-
quest that the students com-
peting for the prizes should not
be confined to academic subjects,
but should be allowed the widest
possible range, and that the new,
the unusual and the radical should
be encouraged.
1 __

As the rules for eligibility now
stand, a student from any school of
the University may compete, pro-
viding he is taking a course in Eng-
lish composition in either the Eng-
lish or journalism departments.
On the death of Mr. Hopwood ip
1928 and the acceptance of his be-
quest by the Regents the problem
of the wise use of the money arose.
Therefore, at a meeting held in Sep-
tember, 1930, the Regents approved
certain regulations governing the dis-
tribution of the money. These were
that the bequest be split into two
parts, known as the major and minor
awards.
The major awards are open to sen-
ior and graduate students, but all
undergraduate students are eligible
for the minor awards if they meet
the general eligibility conditions. The
first contest was held in 1930-31.
In 1932 the comrmittee announced
special contests for freshman stu-
dents only and established prizes of
$50, $30, and $20 in each of three

fields of writing: essay, narrative and
poetry.
In the summer of 1938, additional
contests for students of the summer#
session were announced with prizes1
of $75 ind $50 offered in four fields
of writing.
Since the inauguration of the
contests in 1931, and aside from
many smaller prizes given, 43
prizes of over s1,009 each have beenj
been awarded, two of them being
of $2,500.

tion materials has not been an ob-
stacle in the building of new quarters
for the faculty at the University's
'Biological Station in northern Michi-
gan.
Now under construction, the new
house will be an addition to "Facul-
ty Row," and in all probability will be
ready for occupancy during the sum-
mer session, according to Dr. Alfred
H. Stockard, Director of the sta-
tion.
Log Cabin Type
Built in most part from timber lo-
cated on the grounds, the addition
will be a split-log construction, so
that the exterior will resemble a
log cabin. There is a saw-mill at the
station, and labor power is provided
by farmers and other residents of the
vicinity.
Materials for roofing and plumb-
ing did prove to be somewhat of a
problem, but it has been overcome,
and the house is very near to com-
pletion.
The Biological Station, whose pur-
pose is to give instruction and con-
duct research in botany and zoology,
wil have an enrollment of 130 stu-
dents during the coming 38th ses-
sion, which will last from June 24th
until August 17th.
New Faculty Members
New faculty members on the staff
will include Dr. Alexander H. Smith
of the botany department, Prof. S.
C. Kendeigh of the zoology depart-
ment of the University of Illinois,1
and Prof. G. S. Otto of the zoology
department of Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity.
Besides having more than the usual
number of people at the station this
year, there is a large amount of equip-
ment and materials which has ac-
cumulated over a period of years, and
there is a shortage of laboratory and
storage space.
