| 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. | ||||
