HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Columbia University this week awarded its Bancroft Prizes for the best books in American history to three authors of works published in 1967 by the Harvard University Press.
This is the first time that all three prizes--each carrying a $4000 award--have been given for books published by the same company.
The three winners are Bernard Bailyn, Winthrop Professor of History, for The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution; Henry Allen Bullock of Texas Southern University for A History of Negro Education in the South from 1619 to the Present; and Richard L. Bushman '53 of Brigham Young University for From Puritan to Yankee: Character and the Social Order in Connecticut, 1690-1765.
At the same time that the awards were presented in Columbia's Low Library, a citation was presented to Mark S. Carroll '50, director of the HUP, for the organization's accomplishments.
The Bancroft Prizes have been awarded since 1948.
