in choosing the proper recipients of
the medals.
1t is the intention of the committee.
according to its secretary, Miss Lii
lie Hamilton French, that the efforts
of the modest, incons picuous man from
South Dakota or Idaho have equal
recognition with those of the big fell
low from New York-or Indiana. The
forty-seven subsidiary committees will
report to the main committee, and ac-
cording to these reports will the other
twenty-five medals be awarded.
"This medal has been given you"
the letter to Major Murphy read in
part, "in recognition of great benefits
which you have rendered humanity.
You have worked indefatigably, and
with rare constructive ability, for the
organization of the Red Cross in
France. You have helped carry surgi-
cal supplies to the wounded. comfort

the national welfare:
Wherefore, the executive commit
tee Of the American Social Science As
sociation, one of the oldest of nation
ally incorporated bodies, recommends
that a medal, to be designated Lib
erty Service Medal be authorized.
1.-THE committee further recommends
that the National Institute of Social
Sciences be empowered, in accordance
with the objects Of its organization
to award and bestow said medal upon
such person or persons as have rem
dercd or may render notable services
which merit such special mark of dis
tinetion and recognition"
The resolution is signed by Oscar
S. Straus, chairman; George Gordon
Battle, Simeon e, Baldwin, H. Holbrook
Curtis and the late Ripley Hitchcock
twenty-five medals are to be given
each year, and committees are being
formed, one in each state, to assist

be extended. Thus you have benefited
not one country alone, but the host of
our Allies"
And to Miss Nutting:
THE work you have accomplishe d
has been one of great service to hu-
manity. You have raised the standard
OF women going into the field of nurs-
ing and increased the number of
trained nurses, thereby adding snor-
mously to our national resources in a
time Of sore need"
Governor Holcomb received the Lib
erty Service Medal in recognition of
his successful efforts to keep omen
