College Designer Wins

John R. Scotford Jr. '38, the College Designer, recently was awarded a second prize of $2500 in the National Bicentennial Medal Contest. His design, which celebrated the Justin Morrill Land Grant College Act of 1862, was entered in the Vermont division of the competition. The contest was jointly sponsored in Vermont by the Vermont Historical Society, the Vermont Bicentennial Commission, and the Franklin Mint.

Mr. Scotford also won a first prize in the 1972 University and College Designers National Competition for the banner he designed for the Conference on Computers in the Undergraduate Curricula held a year ago at Dartmouth.

Before returning to the College in 1956 as special assistant on the Hopkins Center project, Mr. Scotford was the art director of several New York advertising agencies. He was Assistant Director of the Center from 1962, when it was completed, until 1969, when he was named College Designer. He is the son of the Rev. John R. Scotford '11 and brother of David '44.
