Pharmacy is a great profession, and these students who are going into it now are so talented. I’m glad to help in any way I can. Lenor Zeeh (BS ’36 Pharm) |
|  | "A contemplative study of the humanities is the finest weapon against those who find vacuity a virtue and ignorance as an exact science," according to Sidney E. Iwanter ('71 L&S), a native of Madison, Wisconsin. It was his desire to encourage people never to lose their love for learning that prompted the Los Angeles resident to establish the Iwanter Prize for excellence in scholarship.
"I set up this prize in the belief that the pure and simple love of learning should be rewarded if not exalted," he said. The award is given annually to a graduating senior who has demonstrated outstanding humanities scholarship of a broad and interdisciplinary nature.
"It is my hope that those competing in this event will continue on a lifelong journey of intellectual exploration," Iwanter said.
The UW-Madison Center for Humanities presented the first $2,000 prize to Chris Hemauer, a senior in art history from Hilbert, Wisconsin, for his thesis, "Theatricality in the Hellenistic 'Baroque': The Theatrical Style of the Pergamon Gigantomachy." Hemauer, who majored in classics, art history and classical humanities, is attending the University of California-Berkeley as a graduate student in art history. |
