Wins Pulitzer Prize

William H. Taylor '23, yachting editor of The New York HeralcL-Tribune, recently received the 1935 Pulitzer award of $1,000 for the best job of reporting during the past year. His series of articles on the America's Cup races won the prize for him.

Mr. Taylor has been in newspaper work since his graduation from Dartmouth. His first job was covering the waterfront for The New Bedford Standard in his home town of New Bedford, Mass. After a brief venture into the oil-burner business, he joined the staff of The News in Fall River, Mass., and then became a reporter for The Boston Herald. He began his present post in New York in the spring of 1927.

Mr. Taylor has been associated with boats and the sea since childhood. Born in New Bedford, he learned to row and sail as soon as he was big enough to pull an oar or rope, and at his family's summer home in South Dartmouth, Mass., he learned about all sorts of sailing craft. He lives now with his wife and son in Port Washington, L. J. He is a member of the Cruising Club of America, the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club, a charter member of the North American Dinghy Association, and a former commodore of the Frostbite Yacht Club, an organization of winter dinghy enthusiasts.
