William Willis, To H<x*eive

Drowning? Man U Y«*ar8
William Willis, Atlantic Christian
College Junior, has been formally no
tified that he has been one of the few
elected for this year to receive the
Carnegie Medal for bravery, a medal
4\»arded to only a few people and
only when the Incident requires an
unusual risk of one's life to save that
of another.
The act of bravery for which Wi?-
U« is to receive the medal occurred
in the summer of 1931 at Swansboro,
N. C. One of the members of a fish
ing party in which he was included
decided to go In swimming after they
came ashore, despite the warnings or •
thwe w'ith him. It wasn't long be
fore they noticed that, . the water
t)elng particularly rough that day. I
the man. Mr. A. II. UiverH, of South
Carolina, was being washed away J
from the shore in spite of his stru?-1
gle». Immediately, Willis, with a [
friend, took a life preserver and |
alaried out toward him; he was then, I
approximately, 100 yds. from the i
shore. They got to him Just as be
was making his final attempts to I
itay above the water and tied the
life preserver around him. After a
hard struggle they finally dragged
him to the shore where they received
more help.
Nothing more was heard of the
event until last summer when a rep
resentative from the Carnegie Fund
for Heroes came to Wilson to see
Willis. The representative then
iraTclerj to Ralcighj^Swansboro, and
to South Carolina, taking approxi
mately two weeks to check the au
thenticity and merits of the incident.
He finally decided to his satisfaction
that It was a deserving case and noti
fied Willis and his friend at Swans-
boro, who is also to receive one.
The endowment for this founda
tion was made in 1904 by Andrew
Carnegie, famous steel magnate, and
amounted to $5,000,000. With the
medal goes a pecuniary award which '
can be used profitably. Thousands ■
of applicants for one of these medals
Are made every year but only a few ,
are ever recognized.
William Willis Is a Junior this
a member of the Phi Kappa
Alpha Fraternity, and a member of |
the COLLEGIATE staff. Last yearj
he came very close to making the
highest scholastic record for the year, j
ttisslng It only by a fraction. He is
Quiet, modest, and unassuming, so
Diach 80 that It w’as only unil recent-1
ly that any one knew of this Incident
—not until his official recognition by
^he Carnegie Foundation was pub
lished in local papers.
He plans, after graduating here to
Ro to Vanderbilt to study for his
W A. degree and possibly to get his
n. It is possible that, along with
tiie medal, will be awarded a scholar- ,
ship to this university.
