Elizabethtown College’s Lily Harris ‘24 was announced as the winner of this year’s Anna Carper Excellence in Library Research Award. This annual award recognizes the excellent scholarship of First-Year Seminar (FYS) students who make valuable use of the High Library’s research collections and other information sources. The endowed award is named after Anna M. Carper ’41, Librarian of the College from 1960 to 1986.
Harris won for her paper, “Can Whaling in Japan be Justified by Culture?” which she wrote for Associate Professor of Japanese Dr. Nobuaki Takahashi’s First-Year Seminar course. Her paper divulges on the current debate between pro-whalers and anti-whalers. It discusses both sides of the argument and uncovers the reasoning behind the hostility toward Japan’s whaling practices.

“We told her that she, me and my husband could go cleanup, but she wanted to include her dance team,” King shared. “Those are her favorite people and her best friends. She asked if that was something we could do and I said, ‘Yeah, why not?’ “
