Michael Joseph Halberstam '53 of Dunster and Torrington, Conn., has been awarded the Dana Reed Prize for the best piece of writing to appear in an undergraduate publication during the past year.
His prize-winning article was a profile of President James B. Conant, which appeared in the CRIMSON on June 9, 1952. The honor carries with it a cash award of $100.
This is the fourth consecutive year that a CRIMSON article has won the Dana Reed award.
Judges John P. Marquand '15, Bernard DeVoto '18, and Laurence McKinney '12 named two short stories and a poem, all of which appeared in the Advocate, as runners-up in the competition. Donald O. Stewart, Jr. '53 was cited for his story "Dennis Gray," and Walter Kaiser '54 of Bellevue, Ohio for his poem "Aix-en-Provence." For the first time, a Radcliffe girl was mentioned by the committee. Lily Emmet '54 earned the honor with her story "Friday Philharmonic."
