The Sidney Prize is awarded annually to a piece of undergraduate writing which, in the judgment of the Committee if one may use such a word, most nearly meets those high standards of originality and integrity set by Sidney Cox for himself and his students both in his teaching and in his book Indirections for Those Who Want to Write. The Committee, which consists of Professor Philip Sidney Ardern and members of the Faculty at large, will not confine itself to any particular field; but it aims to encourage the study of Old and Middle English literature, and also of medieval history and religion.

In memory of Yong Kim A.B. ’92, J.D. ’95, the award supports outstanding scholarly work in East Asian Legal Studies. The prize includes a cash award and a plaque. The winner is selected by a jury of SHOT members from among the nominations submitted from within their membership.

This monthly prize honors investigative journalism that serves the common good. In the spirit of its founder, who founded the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and was a leader in building a union movement that extended beyond the shop floor, The Hillman Foundation seeks reporting that illuminates important issues facing society, from the search for a basis for lasting peace to the need for better housing, medical care and employment opportunities for all people, to the struggle against discrimination of all kinds.

The prize is awarded to an undergraduate student for a paper which demonstrates the greatest understanding of the subject matter and a command of the literature, as well as clarity of presentation. The author of the winning paper will be notified in early spring and is invited to give a talk on the paper during the Fall semester at Dartmouth.
