JON STALLWORTHY POETRY PRIZE<br />
One special initiative in <strong>2019</strong> is to<br />
honour the life of Jon Stallworthy by<br />
endowing the Jon Stallworthy Poetry<br />
Prize for Oxford graduate students.<br />
A much-loved tutor, scholar and<br />
poet, Jon Stallworthy was a Fellow of<br />
<strong>Wolfson</strong> between 1986 and his death<br />
in 2014 and twice Acting President<br />
of the College. Thanks to generous<br />
gifts from Old Possum’s Practical<br />
Trust and the Derek Hill Foundation,<br />
the prize was first awarded in 2016.<br />
We now want to endow the prize<br />
as a permanent tribute to Professor<br />
Stallworthy and hope that his many<br />
friends and admirers in the <strong>Wolfson</strong><br />
community will give their support.<br />
Thanks to the generosity of several<br />
donors, we have secured nearly half<br />
of the £75,000 required to endow<br />
the Jon Stallworthy Poetry Prize in<br />
perpetuity. For more details of the prize<br />
and how you can make a donation<br />
to this valuable initiative, please visit:<br />
