The Rupert MacNeill Book Prize
	The Rupert MacNeill Book Prize was originally established in or before 1962 by Dr. Rupert MacNeill to recognize a 3rd year honours geology student of "general academic excellence". The award was made each year via a personal donation by Dr. MacNeill in the amount of $25, and was made in memory of Major R.B. MacNeill and Pte. A.M. Dennis.
	After Dr. MacNeill died in 1983, the Rotary Club of Wolfville created an endowment to continue the prize, which is now awarded to a "worthy geology student", in memory of their fellow member, past president, and past district governor.
	The endowed award is made each year to a worthy student in the Department of Geology/Earth & Environmental Science, selected by the department faculty, with a preference to students who couldn't otherwise afford all of their textbooks.
	The endowed prize was originally $100, but this changed to $150 and then $200 in 1999, after donations to the endownment by the RCoW and other friends of Dr. MacNeill  allowed increases in the prize value.
