AWARD DESCRIPTIONS
Bosey Reiter Leadership Cup (Awarded to a graduating senior)
Selection shall be guided by the following considerations:
The leadership shall be such as to contribute primarily to the best interest of the University.
Leadership shall be defined chiefly in terms of moral character and the definition of character shall be Theodore Roosevelt's: "Resolution, courage, energy, power of self control, combined with fearlessness in taking the initiative and assuming responsibility; a just regard for the rights of others, together with unflinching determination to succeed , no matter what obstacles and barriers have to be beaten down. There is, moreover, one quality too often wholly lacking in men of high intellectual ability , without which real character cannot exist--namely, the fundamental gift of common sense."
Class of 1904 Award
