The Yale Daily News Magazine awards the Wallace Prize in fiction and non-fiction annually in memory of Peter J. Wallace ’64. Wallace was a member of the Yale Daily News Editorial board, and the prize in his name is endowed by the Peter Wallace Memorial fund, set up through contributions by the Wallace family and Peter’s friends and classmates. This year, we received an overwhelming number of outstanding entries. The pieces were judged anonymously by a panel of professors, writers, and editors unaffiliated with the News. We owe our utmost gratitude to our judges for their tireless work in reading and evaluating this year’s submissions.
