Annual Prize Medals by The Monthly

The Harvard Monthly has announced the foundation of two annual medal prizes. The Sanborn-Carpenter Medal, in memory of two deceased members of the original board, will be given for the best poem in English verse, and the Founders' Medal, named after the original board, will be for the best composition in English prose. These medals will be awarded each year at the annual dinner in May.

At the last anniversary dinner, the first awards were made: James Gordon Gilkey '12 won the Sanborn-Carpenter Memorial Medal with his poem, "The Drifting Bell Buoy," and Haniel Clark Long '10 won the Founders' Medal with his essay on George Meredith.

The original board who offered the fund to maintain the medals are: William Woodward Baldwin '86, William Morton Fullerton '86, Alanson Bigelow Houghton '86, George Santayana '86.
