	Oxford Poetry: Appendix 2: The Newdigate Prize
		Sir Roger Newdigate's Prize for English Verse was founded in 1806 as a memorial to Sir Roger, fifth baronet (1719-1806) and Oxford university politician.
		If the Professor is not sufficiently impressed by any entry, the Prize is not awarded, and the event is so badly advertised (i.e., not at all) that many undergraduates aren't aware that it even exists.
		It is unlikely to be a coincidence that the first substantial poets to receive the prize (Jon Stallworthy, 1958; John Fuller, 1960; James Fenton, 1968) did so in the first period when the Professor of Poetry was himself a modern poet.

	Literary Encyclopedia: William Money Hardinge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It has been Hardinge’s fate to be remembered in the twenty-first century, not as a novelist, but as a Balliol student who, because he had written some sonnets celebrating same-sex love and had exchanged love letters with Walter Pater, was rusticated in February 1874 for a term of nine months.
		As a student, Hardinge played the harmonium in chapel and was awarded the Newdigate Prize in 1876 for his poem “Troy,” which is remarkable for its unusual interpretation of Helen.
		On 21 June 1876, Hardinge was too ill, having suffered a hemorrhage from the lungs, to attend the Newdigate Prize awards ceremony.
