Signet Award for Williams, Cartoonist on "New Yorker"

Ginyas Williams '11, cartoonist, received the Signet Society's third annual medal for "achievement in the Arts" at a dinner of the Society Saturday night.

The citation, read by David McCord '21, president of the Signet Associates, said "Gluyas Williams: Distinguished artist in black and white, whose satire, wit, and diverging sympathies have colored countless drawings in our national press."

Williams, who was Ibis of the Lampoon when he was here, draws regularly for the New Yorker and was formerly with Life.

Previous winners are Samuel Eliot Morison '07, for his history of Harvard, and Van Wyck Brooks '07, author of "The Flowering of New England."
