The John Addison Porter Prize is awarded for a work of scholarship in any field in which it is possible, through original effort, to gather and relate facts and/or principles and to make the product of general human interest. The Kingsley Trust Association (The Scroll and Key Society) established the award in 1872 in honor of the late professor, who received a bachelor's degree from Yale in 1842.

The Theron Rockwell Field Prize, established in 1957 by Emilia R. Field in memory of her husband, an 1889S graduate of Yale, is awarded for a work of scholarship in poetry, literature or religion.

Entries must be submitted before 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 1, to Barbara Mordecai, Office of the Secretary, Woodbridge Hall, Rm. 3, 105 Wall St. For more information and an application, call (203) 432-2311 or visit the the website at www.yale.edu/secretary/prizes.
