President Abram W. Harris Award

The President Abram W. Harris Award was established by President Harris’ grandson Abram ”Pete” W. Harris III ’50 and his friend Marion Waterman Meyer ’51 and is presented periodically by the Foundation. President Harris is remembered in the Board of Trustees reports for eight years of service during which the University made rapid, constant progress. He established the founding chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.

President Harris left the institution larger, stronger, and in every respect a better university.
