Mr.. L. X. kaufman, with C. G. Ludwigs,
the popular jeweler, deserves great credit for
having been the designer and manufacturer
of that beautiful and valuable drill medal,
which the Wentworth Male Academy from
season to season awards to the best scholar
ship in military drilling, a decoration of
which every young student of this noble
educational institute well may be proud to
wear-as in fact they are. The medal
shows unsurpassed skill and genuine work
manship in the art of goldsmithing; all the
work, besides, having been rendered graf
uitously by the gentleman named. In justice
to his well known modesty, we can only
repeat what we read on the medal: "Pal-
nam, qui meruit terat."
