These prizes, of $375 each, were founded in 1909 by Mrs. S. C. Sears, in memory of her son J. M. Sears, Jr., '00, a graduate of the Law School.

In two weeks he is returning to Ireland to join Gordon Craig, son of Ellen Terry, and himself an artist and scene-designer of note, in some practical experiments with a new sort of scenery and new lighting effects that Mr. Craig has lately invented and which he expects will revolutionize the staging of poetic dramas.
