Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Policy of the Early Colonists of Massachusetts Toward Quakers and Others Whom They Regarded as Intruders, 1881 The Old South Prizes for essays on subjects in American History were first offered in 1881. The purpose and conditions of the prizes may best be stated in the language of the circular announcing them, as follows: In order to encourage the growing interest in American history, the undersigned are authorized to offer prizes for the best essays on the subjects named below, the competition being open to all who have graduated from the Boston High Schools (including the Latin Schools) in 1879, 1880, and 1881. Forty dollars will be awarded for the best essay on each of the subjects named below, and twenty-five dollars for the second best - making in all four prizes. Competitors may write on both subjects, if they wish, but no one can receive more than one prize. The essays must be sent between October 1 and December 1, 1881, to Mrs. Kate Gannett Wells, 155 Boylston Street. It is recommended that they should be written on quarto letter-paper, and that no essay should exceed in length fifteen pages of the North American Review. Each essay must bear an assumed name, and must be accompanied by a sealed letter having the assumed name outside and the real name of the writer within, together with the date of graduation and the name of the High School at which the pupil graduated. The judges will give some weight to the literary merit of the essays, but will chiefly consider the amount of historical knowledge and thought displayed.
