The University recently held a ceremony in Woodbridge Hall on March 23 to honor the 46 undergraduates and eight graduate students who received scholarships from the Sheffield Scientific School endowment in 2004.
The Sheffield Scientific School at Yale was one of the first schools to devote its curriculum to "the promotion of the study of the natural, physical and mathematical sciences." Although the school was integrated into Yale University in 1956, its trustees ensure that its endowment continues to support scholarships, lectures, and teaching in the sciences, mathematics and engineering.
At the ceremony in the Corporation Room, Vice President and Secretary Linda K. Lorimer welcomed the students, their faculty mentors and science department chairs. She also acknowledged the 2002-2003 trophy cup presented to Silliman College, the residential college whose students earned the highest grade point average in the sciences in the past year.
Paul Fleury, dean of engineering, recounted the history of the Sheffield Scientific School, and Sheffield trustee Gary Haller, the Becton Professor of Engineering & Applied Science and master of Jonathan Edwards College, presented certificates to each of the students bearing the names of the donors who had established the individual scholarship he or she received.
