 the offering of a prize by Mr. Louis Bregger ''88" and President Friday 

 for the best essay upon the subject "Is it to the economic advantage of 

 the American people that the land values of farms should go up or down." 

 The prize consisted of |1 00.00 offered by Mr. Bregger and |50.00 offered 

 by President Friday and was striven for by a fairly large number of

 by the judges.

 should be given Associate Professors C. S. Dunford, J. T. Horner and
