Class of 1879 prize competition to recognize work in Humanities

The competition for the Class of 1879 Prizes for 1995 is now open. The prizes recognize outstanding work in the Humanities and Arts by awarding prizes of cash and a certificate to the three best Sufficiency projects submitted in any term during calendar year 1995 (including this term, B95). Interested students should submit a single, printed copy of their Sufficiency project to Professor John Trimbur, Humanities and Arts, Salisbury Laboratories, by December 31, 1995.

Last year's winners were Karl Dicker, for his history of black baseball; Shaun P. Heaney for his study of New Union Station; and Scott Higgins for his analysis of the problem of identity. They were chosen from among fifty-five entries.

The Class of 1879 Prizes, one of WPI's oldest and most prestigious undergraduate awards, were originally presented for the best essays written in composition class. The Class of 1879 established the award at their reunion in 1900. Since 1983, the Class of 1879 Prizes have been given in recognition of the most outstanding work done in the Humanities and Arts Sufficiency project.
