PROFESSOR LAMBUTH AWARDED HONOR IN CONTEST ON CONRAD

Professor David Lambuth, of the English Department, has been awarded second prize in the Conrad contest conducted by "The Saturday Review of Literature" and his essay, with the one winning first prize, was published in Saturday's issue of that magazine.

"The Saturday Review" some time ago offered prizes of $5OO, $250, $5O and $25 for the best discussions on writing the conclusion to "Suspense," Jospeh Conrad's unfinished book which he was working on when he died. Mrs. Conrad said that she would never allow anyone to finish the story but did not object to discussions of possible ways to complete it.

Professor Lambuth has made a great specialty of Joseph Conrad and has done a good deal of studying on the life and works of the famous novelist.

The judges of the contest were Joseph Hergesheimer, David Bone, and William Lyon Phelps. The fact that the winner of the first prize, Samuel C. Chew, was a close personal friend of Conrad is considered to add even more honor to the winning of the second prize by Professor Lambuth.
