✦ Synopsis

As an introduction to the presentation of the Medal Awards, Mr. LePage spoke of events which have happened in the world in the past year and stated that the members and guests were gathered in peaceful assembly to recognize, without regard to nation or political ideology, men of good will whose efforts have been for the good of all mankind. He characterized the Medalists as men who have helped push back the curtains of ignorance and darkness arid who have helped us take one more step toward a full knowledge of this universe we live in.

The President then recognized the Sponsors who presented the recipients of the Awards, and the presentation of the Medals was made by President LePage.
