Sidney Cox Prize Established

IN order to perpetuate in some small way the generative influence which the late Sidney Cox exercised upon hundreds of Dartmouth students in and out of his classes, a group of his friends has been soliciting funds with a view to establishing an annual prize for that piece of undergraduate writing which most nearly meets those high standards of originality and integrity which he set both for himself and his students. Progress to date has been substantial enough to warrant the offering of such a prize, of $100, this year.

The Committee if one may use such a word in relation to Sidney Cox has stipulated that any kind of undergraduate writing in English may be submitted for its consideration through one of its Hanover members. A single anonymous judge of the manuscripts is to be chosen yearly from among the members of the Committee; this judge will appoint his successor for the next year.

The award is to be made in the early spring. It is hoped that, at the time the award is made, the Committee will assemble in Hanover to meet with the contestants and discuss the manuscripts. Appropriate publicity about the prize will be printed in The Dartmouth.

The Committee sent out letters to Sidney Cox's friends during the year and the response has been very generous. About $1500 is now in hand but an additional $1000 is needed to establish the fund on a solidly permanent basis. Letters are, therefore, going out to the original list and contributions will be welcomed from other friends of Sidney Cox who may not have been approached, and also from men interested in the arts at Dartmouth. Professor Harry T. Schultz '37 is acting as treasurer of the Committee and contributions should be sent to him at 1 Occom Ridge in Hanover. Checks should be made out to Dartmouth College.

Robert Frost and A. B. Guthrie are Honorary Chairmen of the Committee. The other members are: Charles G. Bolte '41, William M. Bronk '38, Reuel N. Denney '32, Arthur Dewing '25, John V. Kelleher '39, Thomson H. Littlefield '41, Samuel F. Morse '36, Stearns Morse, Budd Schulberg '36, Harry T. Schultz '37, Jerry Tallmer '42, and Henry Williams.
