Cambridge Prize Poems Being A Complete Collection Of The English Poems Which Have Obtained The Chancellors Gold Medal In The University Of Cambridge PDF Download

Excerpt from A Complete Collection of the English Poems: Which Have Obtained the Chancellor's Gold Medal in the University of Cambridge His Royal Highness William Frederick, Duke of Gloucester, formerly Chancellor of this University, gave annually a Gold Medal, to be conferred upon a resident Undergraduate, who should compose in English the best Ode or best Poem in Heroic Verse. This prize was given yearly by the late Chancellor, the Marquess Camden, and is continued by His Royal Highness the Prince Consort. The subject is given out by the Vice-Chancellor at the end of the Michaelmas Term. The Exercises must be sent in to him on or before the 31st of March following, and must not exceed two hundred lines. Each candidate is to send his exercise privately, with some motto prefixed; to be accompanied by a paper sealed up, with the same motto on the outside, which paper is to enclose another, folded up, having the candidate's name and college written within. The papers containing the names of those persons who do not succeed are destroyed unopened. No prize given to any exercise which is written, wholly, or in part (or of which the tide, motto, superscription, address, &c., are written), in the hand-writing of the candidate; nor to any one who has not, at the time for sending in the exercises, resided one term at least. Candidates are at liberty to send in their exercise printed or lithographed. On Commencement-day the successful candidate recites his Poem in the Senate-House. The Examiners are the same as for the Classical Medals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
