Vincenf was hon ored for services “as professor of sociology, as president of the Uni versity of Minnesota, as president of the Rockefeller foundation, as president of the Chautauqua insti tution, as one of the leaders in the development of comjnnnity chests In the United States, and as an educa tor whose life and addresses have been an inspiration toward un selfish public service.” To Cornelius N. Bliss, former 'president of the institute, was pre sented a medal for his work "as a director of the Julllard School of Music, as a director of the Metro politan Opera association, Inc., as a member of the central committee of the American Red Cross, as a governor of the New York hospital as a director of the Mllbank Memo rial fund, as a trustee of the Met)polltan Museum of Art. and as a member of the board of manat of the Association for Impi the Condition of the Poor.” This comes as a pleasing Inter lude In the midst of political squab bles, International bickerings, busi ness troubles, crimes and disnsters.
