Nation-Wide Essay Contest Is Won By West Virginia Boy A college man -Dudley L. Harley, Lehigh, 'SO has shown his heels to many thousands of entrants in a nation-wide essay contest for a $10,000 first prize. Harley, whose home is in Mar tinsburg, W. Va., is a candidate for a Rhodes scholarship from his home state, and expects to use his new wealth in furthering his education and his ambition to be a writer. The essay which won the con test for the Lehigh undergradu ate was composed, written and bound into book form during an enforced extension of his sum mer vacation, while both wrists were in splints. The wrists were broken in a fall from his horse, Friday, September 13, and the fact that he could not return to school led to his de cision to enter the contest. This is not the first contest he has won, however ; his education has been furthered by two scholar ships won in essay competitions sponsored by the American Chemical Society. Altogether, 835 prizes, total ing $25,000, were awarded in the contest. Entries were limited to 400 words, and were judged on the basis of knowledge of the subject, personal experiences shown, originality of presenta tion and clarity. "The results of the contest were extremely gratifying to us," said C. E. Greenwood, vice chairman of the executive com mittee of the council, "because they show conclusively that the nation is awakening to the im portance of keeping food prop erly both from the standpoint of health and as a question of household economics. Harley's success was not only one of the university-trained. Of the first thirty-five prizes, eighteen were awarded to col lege graduates, and two on the list of winners are college pro fessors. Edward Mohler, professor of political science at St, Johns col lege, Toledo, O., and Miss Ethel M. Arnold, assistant professor of art, Kansas s State Agricul tural college, won $100 each on their essays.
