In
Max Beerbohm's satirical tragedy of undergraduate life at Oxford, Zuleika Dobson (1911), the hero Duke of Dorset[18] was awarded, amongst others, the Stanhope:
At
Eton he had been called "Peacock", and this nick-name had followed him up to Oxford. It was not wholly apposite, however. For, whereas the peacock is a fool even among birds, the Duke had already taken (besides a particularly brilliant First in
Mods) the Stanhope, the
Newdigate, the Lothian, and the
Gaisford Prize for Greek Verse.[19]
