Ames Prize Awarded

The Law Faculty have awarded the Ames Prize to Professor John Henry Wigmore '83, LL.B. '87, who has been for many years a professor in the Northwestern University Law School, and is now dean of that institution. The prize was established in 1898 by Julian W. Mack LL.B. '87, and consists of a sum of $400 and a medal. The prize is awarded every four years for the most meritorious law book or legal essay written in the English language and published not less than one nor more than five years before the award; but if no essay merits the prize no award will be made.

Professor Wigmore is the first recipient of the prize, and the award was based on his edition of "Greenleaf on Evidence." It is proposed to present the medal at the meeting of the Law School Association next June.
