Diana C. Wise ’09-’10, a History and Literature concentrator, has been awarded the 2010 Captain Jonathan Fay Prize for her senior thesis. She was selected for this honor from among this year’s 89 Thomas T. Hoopes Prize winners.
“I felt astonished and overwhelmed, and just extraordinarily gratified that my thesis was recognized in such a way,” Wise said.
In her thesis, titled “Mere Trifles: Lord Hervey’s Memoirs and the Significance of the Insignificant,” Wise philosophically examined the contradictory relationship between triviality and essentiality in the writings of Lord Hervey.
Two other seniors received honorable mention from the Fay Prize selection committee for their theses. Daniel M. Bear ’10 was recognized for his work in Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Molly R. Siegel ’10 for her History of Science thesis.
