The name of that midshipman of the graduating class
who, in completing a major in mathematics, has shown both a high degree
of proficiency in mathematics and an outstanding potential for success
in continued mathematical study and who accepts a commission in any branch
of the naval service, is engraved on a bronze plaque installed in the
Mathematics Department (first deck of Chauvenet Hall, facing Bancroft
Hall). In addition, this midshipman will be awarded a dress sword. This
prize is sponsored by the
late Miss Alice D. Butterfield in memory of the late Professor Henry M.
Robert, Jr., who taught mathematics and economics while a member of the
Naval Academy faculty.

The MAS (Military Application Society) Prize
Each spring since 1970 the Military Applications Society (MAS) has awarded a prize to a student at each of the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, and the U.S. Air Force Academy. This award is for the outstanding graduating student at the academy in Operations Research. The Naval Academy has made the Midshipman's senior project a strong factor in the choice of the recipient.
