The Charles Minor Blackford Prize in the Department of Law was
established through the liberality of Mrs. Susan Colston Blackford, of
Lynchburg, Va., in memory of her husband, the late Charles Minor Blackford,
a distinguished alumnus of the Law School. The prize consists of
fifty dollars in cash, and is awarded each year to a student in the Department
of Law for the best essay on some legal or sociological subject.
Each competitor must file with the Dean of the Department of Law not
later than April 15th his name and the title of his essay, and must file his
completed essay not later than May 1st. All essays must be typewritten,
must contain not more than 15,000 words, and must not be folded. The
award is made by a committee of three competent persons, not locally connected
with the University, to be selected annually by the Law Faculty.
In making the award, literary form as well as subject matter, is taken into
consideration.

For the session of 1914-15 this prize was awarded to William Alexander
Stuart, B. A. (Oxford), whose essay was entitled The Constitutional
Clauses of Magna Carta.
