Kaye Memorial Prize

The Ralph S. Kaye Memorial Prize is awarded to a junior or senior who, at the conclusion of two years or more of mathematics courses and irrespective of the major field of concentration, demonstrates a favorable combination of proficiency in mathematics and participation in extracurricular activities. The prize was founded in 1947 by members of the Omicron Chapter of the Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity in honor of Ralph Sumner Kaye, of the Class of 1937, who was killed in action in World War II.

Wiener Award

The Norbert Wiener Award in Mathematics is given on those rare occasions when a student exhibits such prodigious strength in mathematics as to recall the highly unusual talents of Norbert Wiener '09, who went on to become one of the giants of twentieth-century mathematics. Aside from his vast legacy within mathematics, he left his mark on popular culture by founding the discipline and coining the term "cybernetics," which has spawned today's notions of cyberspace.
