First American to Win Oxford Prize

When the Newdigate Prize at Oxford was awarded to W. C. Greene '11, a Rhodes scholar there, for a poem entitled "Richard the first before Jerusalem," in the early part of last summer, it went to an American for the first time since its establishment in 1806. The prize consists of twenty-one guineas and competition for it is open to all members of the University. In years past it has been won by such men as Matthew Arnold and J. A. Symonds.

W. C. Greene was Class Odist at the time of his graduation from the University and second marshal of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. He is now a Rhodes scholar from Massachusetts at Balliol College, Oxford.
