' To THE EDITOR OF-THENSHERIDAN- ' ROAD NEws-meniâ€" There is an apparent oversight in your account of the preSentation of medals t0“ Messrs. Baker, Van Riper‘imd Per- ryman on April 17th, as reported in your last weeks issue. ‘ You fail to state how the young men ‘wh‘o were» rescued from the ice floes on Feb. 12th; and their pnrynts testified their appreciation of the heroism to which they oWe so much, or how the institution with which these students were connected showed its gratitude. The young men came frOm Lake Forest to the presentation and cheered heartily and their princi- pal made a’touching address, but surely that was not all. The University, we hear, is to adorn one of its buildings with a tablet commemorating the rescue, but that by itself must ‘strike any one as absurdly inadequate. Communicated. I have no with to he inquisitive. but as one who nought an oppor- tunity to show my appreciation: of the Bravery and unselfishnees of my fellow townsmen by contribuo‘ ting to the purchaseofthe medals, I think that in fairness to those most interested, their part in the testimonial should be published.
