College Junior Awarded Coveted Carnegie Metal William Willis, To H<x*eive >l«««lal For Lifo Of 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.
