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."
