History major wins Sachs Scholarship

History major Justin Pope '97 has been named this year's winner of the Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Scholarship. He plans to study at Worcester College, Oxford.

Pope is writing his senior thesis on millennarian groups in 17th-century England, which melds a longstanding interest in British history with an interest in religious history that developed at Princeton.

Pope and his family visited Oxford while he was in high school, and "I've been hoping to get back ever since," he said.

At Princeton he served on his department's undergraduate program committee. He also served as 1996 sports editor of the Daily Princetonian and has worked for the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

The Sachs Scholarship is one of Princeton's most prestigious awards for graduating seniors. It pays for two years of graduate study and provides a stipend for expenses. The winner is selected by a seven-member committee that includes previous winners of the award and, for the first time this year, a member of the Class of 1960.

Members of Sachs's class started a fund before his death in 1967 to support his wife and child; after she remarried, the fund was converted to endow a scholarship. The first Sachs Scholar was selected in 1970.
