This award has been established in honor of Austin B. Caswell, devoted teacher and member of the musicology faculty at Indiana University from 1966 until his retirement in 1996. The Caswell Award honors the best paper written during the 2007 calendar year for an undergraduate music history class. The prize consists of a certificate and $150.
Students may nominate their own paper, or papers may be nominated by instructors or other students. To be eligible for consideration, students should submit the following to the Musicology Department Office, Simon Center M225H, by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, 13 March 2008:
* three clean copies of the paper (without comments from instructors or editorial marks), identified by title only
* a cover letter that indicates the title of the paper, the name of the author, the course for which it was written, and the date on which it was submitted in fulfillment of course requirements
Submitted papers will be read and judged by a committee of faculty members in the musicology department. The winner will be announced at the School of Music Alumni luncheon on graduation day.
