The John Herbert and Mamie E. Farley Prize in Philosophy

This award was established from the estate of Mrs. Farley and named also for her husband (Class of 1896), teacher of philosophy and psychology at Lawrence from 1904-40. It is awarded to a senior student excelling in the study of philosophy. Daryian approaches philosophical discussions with genuine curiosity and an interest in understanding competing perspectives. His intellectual talent and thoughtful manner are matched by an impressive dedication to his studies. Daryian's capstone project, on the use of deception in police interrogations, displayed both his rich appreciation for how issues under theoretical discussion have practical import, and his skill at evaluating and constructing arguments. We thank Daryian for contributing so much to the life of our philosophical community and are excited to see the great things he does in the future.
