About 75 men have already made arrangements to hand in manuscripts in the Union Prize Essay Competition and indications point to an even larger number of competitors entering before its close on February 15.
This competition is conducted under the following rules, agreeed upon by the Library Committee:
Although the competition is open only to members of the Union, anyone can become a member by paying the necessary fee of $7.50.
A first and second prize of $100 and $50 respectively are to be awarded for the best two essays on a subject of the author's own choosing, submitted before February 15, at the desk in the Union Library.
The length of the essay must not exceed 2500 words. The title page of each manuscript must bear an assumed name, and the author must hand in with his manuscript a scaled letter containing his true name and superscribed with his assumed name.
The quality of the writing is of predominant importance in the decision of the judges, and all competitors are advised to write as though they intended their manuscripts to be printed in a first rate literary magazine.
The Library Committee will announce the awards of prizes on March 15, and rejected manuscripts may be called for at the Union Library after that date.
