presentation period to include the fall (paragraph 6); changed the location of the plaque from
Harmon Hall to Arnold Hall (paragraph 6); added former Superintendents to those invited to
nominate candidates (paragraph 7.1); removed Association of Graduates paragraph, as the AOG
is not involved in the Award (paragraph 11). Reference to an obsolete form has been deleted.
