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.

...arrival in Paris of General Matthew Ridgway to take over command of the NATO forces from Dwight Eisenhower. On the day of Ridgway's arrival, Paris blossomed like a dandelion field with hostile messages: "Ridgway go home," "Ridgway, the microbial killer." There was a small riot at Aix-en-Province, a bigger one at Bordeaux; the biggest of all was set for Paris' Place de la Republique, despite a specific ban by the Ministry of the Interior...
