Here is a Chase seemingly from Lithuania. I wonder if Edward M. Chase was his given name, or if he Anglicized his name upon immigrating to the United States? *Chase Peace Prize* The Chase Peace Prize was established at Dartmouth College by Edward M. Chase, a native of Lithuania who emigrated to the United States, settling in Manchester, New Hampshire until his death in 1939. A philanthropist of many causes, Mr. Chase established the Peace Prize in order to encourage careful reflection on the causes of war and the prospects for peace in the world. The Chase Prize is offered each year to recognize the best undergraduate essay and best Senior thesis relating to the understanding of war and the promotion of world peace. *The Chase Essay Prize *The Chase Essay contest is open to all students. The prize will be awarded for the best essay submitted on the subject of war or peace, broadly defined, and may concern art and literature, science, politics, philosophy or any other approach to the topic. Faculty nominations are encouraged. Essays may not exceed 25 pages in length, and submissions are due at the end of March each year. *The Chase Senior Thesis Prize *The Chase Senior Thesis Prize will be awarded to the best senior thesis that treats the subject of war, conflict resolution, the prospects and problems of maintaining peace or other related topics. The thesis may fall within any of the divisions of the College. Successful entries might include, for example, an analysis of the representation of war in art, literature, or music, a historical or contemporary case study of a particular conflict, the analysis of international institutions and their influence on peace promotion, a philosophical or ethical analysis of war, either in general or in a specific case, the study of the environmental causes and consequences of conflict, a scientific study of weaponry and the impact of technological change on arms races. Submissions may be in any format or of any length and may be made by the student or by a faculty member and are due June 1. -- Jeffrey Chace http://www.chace.demon.nl
