Moses was an outstanding student who won multiple academic premiums and Phi Beta Kappa.

Evidence

Moses’ academic work continued to be outstanding. A half century after he graduated, a professor said: “I well remember Robert Moses in my classes. He was alert, enthusiastic, very active, always doing ‘A’ work…. He was a model student. It is the energy of the man…and his very great intelligence that I remember most clearly….” Seniors were awarded “Premiums,” small cash awards established by alumni for outstanding work; Moses won a handful for math and English and Latin, in English composition for an essay on the “Mona Lisa,” besides making Phi Beta Kappa. — Robert A.
