Marcus Heiman Awards

A NEW series of honors, the Marcus Heiman Awards in the Creative Arts, has been established at Dartmouth. Four or five students, normally juniors, are to be chosen each spring on the basis of demonstrated promise for doing creative work in any of the arts identified with the Hopkins Center. The awards each carry a stipend of $100 and the recipients will be named by President Dickey from the nominations of a special committee composed of Richard Eberhart '26, Dartmouth Poet in Residence; Prof. Henry B. Williams, director of the Experimental Theater; Prof. Richard Wagner of the Art Department; and John R. Scotford Jr. 38, special assistant for the Hopkins Center program.

These new prizes are being endowed by Samuel R. Rosenthal of Chicago, father of Martin R. Rosenthal '56, through the D and R Fund of Chicago. Marcus Heiman, for whom the awards are being named, was an uncle of Mr. Rosenthal and a major figure in the theatrical industry. He was one of the founders and successively president of the Orpheum Circuit, Keith-Orpheum Circuit, and the Radio Keith Orpheum Theater Company.
