Undergraduate Articles—An Extension

The Spectator is always ready to encourage the considerable literary talent which is to be found among undergraduates. It there- fore offers to publish articles of sufficient merit contributed by undergraduates and to pay a fee of eight guineas for any article published. This offer has hitherto been open only to the universitiee and university colleges of Great Britain. It is now proposed to extend it to undergraduates of any university or university college of the Commonwealth. Articles should be of about 1,200 words, need not be typed, and should be addressed to the Editor of the Spectator, 99 Gower Street, London, W.C.1, envelopes being marked " Undergraduate."
