$15,000 Literary _ Prize Offered by Bross Foundation PAGE FOVURTEEN Fifteen thousand dollars â€" the largest literary prize offered anyâ€" where in the world for a single bookâ€"will be awarded by the Bross Foundation under the administraâ€" tion of Lake Forest College in 1940 for a book as yet unpublished, to be submitted before Sept. 1, 1989. Announcement of the competition was first made by Dr. Herbert Mcâ€" Comb Moore, president of Lake Forâ€" est college, October, 1936, over an international radio hookâ€"up through the Chicago studios of the National Broadcasting. company. Telegraph and cable took the message to rulâ€" ers of important nations at that time. Posters depicting the purpose of the award are being sent to colâ€" leges, universities, and centers of learning throughout the entire world. These announcements are reproduced from a commissioned painting by Milo K. Winter, widely known American illustrator. The painting shows a student of vision, looking toward spires set against a large white cross, which overshadows factories, libraries, and skyscrapers representing industry, learning .,and science. A globe is beside the student to illustrate the international setting for the compeâ€" tition. The significance of the cross lies in the stipulation for the contest made by William Bross, who estabâ€" lished the foundation. Bross, zn was one of Chicago‘s pioneers and early builders, stated in the trust fund agreement that "at the end of every 50 years ... a premium . ... be given, for the bestâ€"single book on the onnection and relation of the humanities and practical sciences with the Christian religion." > ‘The donor of the $15,000 award further specified that the offer must be open to scientific men, the Chrisâ€" tian philosophers and historians of all ‘nations. This is the first time the major $15,000 prize has been offered. The successful author in the presâ€" ent contest will have his volume added to the Bross library, which already contains fourteen books and lectures selected for previous minor Bross Foundation awards,. These differ in amount, and range up to $6,000. a The Bross library is a collection ofâ€" commisssioned works by worldâ€" famous men who are specialists in their fields. Mark Hopkins, .oneâ€" time president of Wil}ams college, and former president of the Ameriâ€" can Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; Josish Royce, faâ€" mous Harvard philosopher; James Huston Finley, former president of Knox college and now new associate editor of the New York Times; Robâ€" ert Bruce Taylor, widely known Scottish minister and professor; and Jeremiah W«‘ Jenks, former professor at Cornell university and New York university, are five the fourteen recognized by Bréss awards for their writings. Mr. Bross was on the board of trustees of Lake Forest college for twentyâ€"six years, and served ‘as president of this board for a numâ€" ber of years ‘preceding his death. Having alwaysâ€"been keenly interâ€" ested in literature, Bross wanted to encourage writers to a connection between â€" scientific and â€" religious thought. This was his principal aim in establishing the Bross Foundaâ€" tionâ€"â€"to provide an incentive for Christian thinking. * North Shore Towns Set Record for Traffic Safety According to recently published reports of the National Safety" Council at the conclusion of the naâ€" tionwide contest for greater safety, and due to the safety programs conâ€" ducted in the various towns extendâ€" ing from Evanston to Lake Forest in which Highland Park has taken an active part, our north shore has set a record for traffic safety unâ€" equalled anywhere in the United States.
