Lawrence, Kan., April 18.—Miss Eulala Dougherty, a senior at the University of Kansas, registering from Logan, Kan., has been awarded a prize of $500 for the best article on "How I Worked My Way Thru College," it was announced today by Chancellor E. H. Lindley.

Chancellor Lindley's statement followed receipt of a letter from Mrs. William Brown Meloney, editor of the Delineator, national woman's fashion magazine, which made the award. The prize article is to be published in a later issue of the magazine.

Final selection of the winning paper was made by Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard college, who declared Miss Dougherty's paper gave the best description of the many ways in which a young woman can earn her way thru college, and of the educated woman's goal.

Mrs. Meloney, in her letter to the chancellor, said of Miss Dougherty's letter:

"It not only has a challenge of achievement, but the rare quality of happiness in work, which is so priceless a gift to the world."

Students from forty American colleges for women were entered in the contest.

Miss Dougherty's paper was a simple recital of the means she used for earning her way thru college. She is president of the women's journalism fraternity, chairman of Y. W. C. A. finance drive and a member of many campus organizations.

For more than half of her college course, Miss Dougherty was secretary to the director of the University News bureau, rendering highly efficient work in that department.
