Dr Leech praised Hutton's attentive thinking and hard work.
"Jon understands the importance of following intellectual passions, while staying grounded in real-world experiences," said Dr Leech. "In his history senior project, he proved to be a careful thinker, a thorough researcher, and a sophisticated writer, with a belief that our history should focus as much on people's successes as on their broken promises."
After graduation, Hutton will attend the University of Iowa College of Law.
