Wabash College recently held its time-honored Student Awards Chapel tradition celebrating the achievements of the students and faculty for the 2019-20 academic year. The virtual event honored more than 60 Wabash students for their outstanding work in the classroom and extracurricular activities.
Crawfordsville area students:
• Jackson Albrecht, a junior, received the Fred N. Daugherty Award.
• Jeffrey Largent, a sophomore, received the Robert S. Harvey Outstanding Editor Award.
• Logan Smith, a freshman, received the Patterson-Goldberger Outstanding Freshman Journal Award.
The Daugherty Award was established by the Directors of H-C Industries, and is given to a student from Montgomery County who has shown significant intellectual and social growth and achievement as a result of the Wabash experience.
The Robert S. Harvey Outstanding Editor Award is presented annually by the Wabash Board of Publications to the editor or editors, who above others, made the most significant contributions to student journalism at Wabash.
The Patterson-Goldberger Freshman Journalism Award was established by Professor of English Thomas P. Campbell and his family, and is presented to the member of the freshman class who, in the opinion of the Board of Publications, has contributed most significantly to journalism in his first year at Wabash College. The prize honors Thomas McDonald Patterson, 1865, who owned Denver’s Rocky Mountain News, and Alexander Goldberger, 1925, who as chairman of the Board of Publications while a student at Wabash established the College as a member of Pi Delta Epsilon national journalism society.
