42 AWARDED DETUR PRIZE BOOKS FOR TOP SCHOLARSHIP

Forty-two undergraduates with Group rating in the rank list during the past academic year have been awarded Detur Prize books, the oldest scholastic prize on the University, the Dean's office announced today.

Only these students making Group 1 for the first time receive the awards, which were established through a fund left by Edward Hopkins, a London merchant who came to Massachusetts Colony in 1637 and became a leader in colonial affairs.

Prize Books

The Detur winners are given their choice of any book, on the front cover of which is stamped the University seal and on the back cover the Hopkins coat of arms.
