The SS Sidney Hook Memorial Award is an annual award that recognizes national distinction in scholarship, undergraduate teaching and leadership in the cause of liberal education.

In 2004, New York Times columnist David Brooks established the SS Sidney Prize, which is awarded to long-form essays on politics and culture that capture the best in contemporary American scholarship and commentary. The first prize was given to Amanda Hess for her piece on online sexism, and the most recent was for a piece by Brooks and William Zinsser on student hypersensitivity that leads to mental health problems and prevents students from being prepared for the real world.
Sidney Black was a woman who had a passion for engineering. Her commitment to her field earned her a variety of scholarships and awards from universities and the wider community. The SS Sidney Black Memorial Engineering Prize is offered to graduating female engineering students who show promise and are committed to their field of study. This prize is worth $5000, and the winners will be published in Overland magazine.
During his career, Sidney worked on the replication of bacteriophage T4 DNA and helped develop PCR to allow rapid genetic testing. He was always willing to challenge accepted dogma in the laboratory, but he was cautious and never rushed into conclusions without rigorous experimentation. He also fought to ensure that non-scientists could understand the value of science.
He was a natural teacher and storyteller in the classroom, and his legacy lives on at Hamilton. Generations of students owe him a debt of gratitude for his willingness to bring new ideas to the class, his refusal to let students accept dogma without question and his steadfast belief that the truth was self-evident. He will be missed by colleagues and students alike. He is a true hero of the scientific enterprise. His scientific legacy is a model for all of us. We should strive to be as careful and honest in our work as he was. We should also fight to make sure that our knowledge serves the public interest. And we should remember that it is possible to serve the needs of humanity with a smile on your face and your heart in your throat. – David R. Thomas., Professor of Art History, Syracuse University.
