Howard Kibble Hughes Scholarship
Dr. Hughes always remembered with pride his participation in a mathematics competition at the University of Iowa that resulted in the awarding of the Louden Prize. And so... Dr. Hughes resolved to contribute sufficient funds to Valparaiso so that recognition might be given for achievement in mathematics at Valparaiso University.
To make possible the participation of science and engineering students, as well as mathematics students, Dr. Hughes declared that the purpose of the competition would be to determine the student showing the greatest proficiency in the first four calculus courses.
It is with much pride, and the warm memory of a gentle colleague, that we are privileged to award the Hughes Mathematics Prize.
