A committee of the Language Conference is making arrangements for an unusually interesting contest this winter. About February it is proposed to hold a pronouncing match between about a dozen representatives from each of the four classes of the School of Arts. Through the generosity of Messrs. Schaum & Henshaw, the University Book Store and Mr. Tracy Learnard, the committee is able to offer to the winners a number of valuable prizes, the best of which will be a new International Dictionary. The classes have all had meetings to choose captains, whose business it will be to hold preliminary contests within the classes to determine thereby the representatives to take part in the final contest. The preliminary contests will be held within a week or so, and to the winner in each preliminary contest the committee will present as a prize Phyfe's "Seven Thousand Words Often Mispronounced," a book which will serve as the source from which all the words will be taken for both preliminary and final contests. All students in the School of Arts will have an opportunity to take part in the competition and it is expected that great interest will be aroused in the pronunciation of of the vernacular.
