Phil Morse Award for Best Historical Paper (1st place)
Phil Morse graduated from Washburn in 1963 with a bachelor’s degree in
History. After graduate school at Denver University and service in the Peace Corps, Phil and Lona Morse settled in Topeka. Phil built a career in business and community service. He believed that the skills learned through a liberal arts education, history in particular, were crucial to success in any profession. For a number of years, Phil was a dedicated History Day judge for the paper category. For him the research, analytical, organization, and writing skills at the core of history education and History Day were tools essential for professional excellence. Prior to Phil’s death in 2016, Phil and Lona endowed the Phil Morse Scholarship to honor the values integral to History Day and to celebrate quality writing, history, and a liberal-arts education. The award is applied to the first year of study at Washburn
University.
