On May 20, approximately 200 students, parents, family members
and faculty gathered in Low Rotunda for the Colleges third
annual Academic Awards and Prizes Ceremony. Hosted by Dean of Academic
Affairs Kathryn Yatrakis, the ceremony recognized 65 students for
their scholarly and intellectual achievements.
Before the award presentations, Dean Austin Quigley praised the
awardees, noting that it is a great honor for them to earn
these awards in this enormously challenging and competitive context.
Before presenting the prizes for special achievement, Yatrakis remarked
that early in the 20th century, University President Nicholas Murray
Butler complained that undergraduate school was a refuge for idlers
and dawdlers. These prizes, she said, prove there are
no idlers and dawdlers in this class.
Yatrakis presented the awards for special achievement, including
the Albert Asher Green Memorial Award to the senior with the highest
grade point average, Katie Melissa Baker 02.
Then Professor of Mathematics Patrick Gallagher, Professor of English
and Comparative Literature Edward Mendelsohn and Professor of Political
Science David Johnston presented awards in the sciences and mathematics,
the humanities, and the social sciences, respectively.
