AWARD OF MEDAL BY OUTING CLUB

In recognition of his services in saving the face of the Old Man of the Mountain in Franconia Notch, one of the greatest natural wonders in the State, Rev. Guy Roberts of Littleton, N. H.., has been awarded a bronze medal by Rev. J. E. Johnson '66 in behalf of the Outing Club.

In 1906 Mr. Roberts discovered that the rock forming the forehead of the face was in a precarious condition and in danger of slipping off into the valley below. In spite of his repeated efforts to secure means for preventing the face from falling to pieces, it was not deemed feasible to undertake the work because of the immense size and inaccessibility of the rock, and not until last summer was anything" done in the matter. At that time the actual work of fastening the rock to the ledge by means of chains and bolts was undertaken by the State, and completed early in October, 1916, by E. H. Geddes of Quincy, Massachusetts.

The award is the first of its kind ever made by the Outing Club.
