Sidney Cox left an enormously significant mark on Dartmouth students both inside and outside his classes, so his friends have begun raising money to establish an annual prize that recognizes undergraduate writing which meets his high standards for originality and integrity. As of now, approximately $1500 has been donated, yet much more must be collected in order to establish this fund on a solid and long-term foundation. A committee has been formed which will contact all donors from the original list as well as receiving contributions from others who may not have been approached directly, including men with an interest in arts at Dartmouth. Professor Harry T. Schultz ’37 will serve as Treasurer of this Committee; checks should be sent directly to him at 1 Occom Ridge in Hanover.
