Abstract
The PRIX DE ROME—the phrase scarcely retains the aura of magic it once possessed. Yet the fierce competition, the implacable envy, and sleepless anxiety surrounding the contests still carry a lesson for the present epoch. It is indeed the first Academy Award, except that it is difficult to imagine a nineteenth-century Marlon Brando refusing to accept it. In any event, I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to discuss this institution, and I thank John Dobkin and the National Academy of Design for their Prix de New York, which made it possible.
