New-York Historical Society prize essays, 1926-1933.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/58779522

Essays, 1926-1933, submitted for an annual prize sponsored by the New-York Historical Society. The prize was established in 1925, for the member of the Junior Class of Columbia University who wrote the best essay on a designated topic of American history. In 1930 the contest was opened to seniors as well as juniors, but it did not prove popular, and in 1933 it was abandoned for lack of funds. A few essays were submitted under pseudonyms; identifiable authors are James P. Wood, John L. Donovan, George S. Elpern, Frank Greenwald, Ralph Taft Heymsfeld, Edward L. Palmiere, Milton Seasonwien, G. Adolf Koch, John Friend Noble, and Emanuel R. Freedman.
