The Sidney Prize was created to commemorate Dr. Sidney Cox’s transformative influence upon thousands of Dartmouth students he taught throughout his tenure at Dartmouth. To that end, his friends have begun raising funds in order to establish an annual prize that recognizes undergraduate writing that best adheres to the high standards he set both for himself and his students. The Committee, comprised of longstanding friends of Hanover College with knowledge of its history, has sent letters to its original list of supporters asking that any interested individuals contribute. Contributions should be sent directly to Professor Harry T. Schultz at 1 Occom Ridge Hanover for donation purposes.
