harvard prize book award

ok, so among other awards, our middle child won the harvard prize book award.......presented by a harvard alum who is an english professor at centre......
As defined by the Harvard Alumni Association web site, the Prize Book is to be awarded to an outstanding student in the next to the graduating class who "combines excellence in scholarship and high character, with achievement in other fields." The award is usually made at the school's graduating exercises, with appropriate remarks by a local alumnus or alumna. The Prize Book may also be awarded to outstanding high school teachers, who inspire curiosity and excellence in students. the student we visited at harvard was the harvard prize book winner 2 years ago........so far, we have been deemed unworthy to actually look at the book........maybe there is a qualifying exam.......
