The prize was tenable for one year and, under certain conditons, could be won outright in five years. The tablet was to be exhibited in the ancentral hall of the District securing the highest award.
Sir Cecil Clenienti's prize has new been won outright; so to preserve the continuity of this award my father, Sir Elly Kadoorie, K.D.E., has offered
