lean Chemica l Society h as announced lt s fourth annual prize essay contest. Thls contest wll l be ope n to well ni g h every 8tuc1ont, for no tec h nica l know! · edgo of c h e mi stry Is r eq uired. The pri· mary purpo se of t h is competition is to lnstlll a live Inte r est ln the study of chemistry and a l<nowledge of the im· p o rta.nt part the subjec t plays in our nationa l life. The1·e a 1·e two contest13, one f or university and coll e ge f1·esh'men and the o ther f or academy students. In the former six prizes of one thousand dol· Iars, one for each o f the six subjects listed below, will be awa1·ded to fresh· m e n who w ri te the best essays in acCO l'd ance with the rule s. In the high schoo l contest, th e nation a l prizes are six fou1· yea r scho larships to Yale, Vas· s ar, o r oth er institutions, each o.f which provides tuition f ees a nd five hundred doll ars ann u a ll y. To compete for these n ational prizes a contestant must have won a flr:s t prize in a state contest. I n these state con t ests the first prize 1.'1 twenty dollars in gold for th e best essay on each of the six s ubj ects and the second prizes are certificlates of honorable mention. Tb e t op ics from which contestants in the High School contest and the Uni· versity and College Freshmen contest must se lect subjects for their essays a re: 1. The R elation of Chemistry to Health and Disease. 2. Th e Relation of Chemistry to Enrichment of Life. 3. '!'he R elation of Chem istry to Ag· riculture or Fores try. 4. The Relation of Chemistry to Na· tiona t Defense. 5. T he R elation of Chemistry to the Home 6. 'l'he Relation off Chemistry to th e D eve lopme nt of an Industry. There should be many s t udents f r om amo n g the College Freshmen and the High School Classes who will devote a litt le tU:ne and effort in writing on one of these subjects-not just a f ew moments and a faint effort but a true atmpt to do something worth while. The monetary reward shou ld not be th e sole end in vie w. Would it not raise the scholastic standing of our Co ll ege in t h e public estimation if one of ou 1· stude nts wet·e to receive the prize? Our ambitions to obtain recognition in th e inte ll ectual world should b e as r eal and earnest as they are for victory and acclaim in the world of sport. The successful competito r s in other contes ts have been chosen from col· leges a nd ac.:"tdemies of no wider r epute than St. Viator an d consequently we !llay fee l reasonab ly certain t h at our coll ege h as an eq ual opportunity of s ee in g its name in the li s t of in stitutions whose studen ts are on the honor roll. -
