The Van Am Prize, established in 1925, is awarded to the member of Columbia College's sophomore class who is most distinguished for service, character, and courtesy in relations with faculty members, fellow students, and visitors. A donation is presented to the student activity of the winner’s choice. It was established by the Class of 1898 on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary...meaning either the date Columbia gives for when it was established is wrong, or they took a couple years to actually get around to awarding it.
