AROUND THE QUADS
On May 20, approximately 200 students, parents, family members and faculty gathered in Low Rotunda for the College’s 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.
