“Memorandum to Professor Edwin M. Hopkins:

Dear Professor Hopkins + ‘

When I was at the International Convention ef Rotary —
in Chicago fram June 18 to 21, one of our very good District
Governors from Dedham, Massachusetts, - Rev. Lyman V. Rutledge,
asked thet I convey his kindest wishes te you.

He said he will never forget the time when, after his
father died when he was living in Oklahom, he dropped out of
school from December to February. He vividly recalls your
calling him in t the office and telling him that a choice for
a Phi Beta Kappa key was mde between him, Rev. Rubledge, and
another young man. And of course since Rev. Rutledge was out
ef school for that time, the key had te go to the other young
fellow.

Rev. Rutledge said that compliment you paid him was
better even than the receipt of a Phi Beta Kappa’key. He has
always held the memory of your acquaintance in the fondest poss-~
ible way, and he asked that I convey his sincerest wishes to you.

He is minister to First Church at Dedham, Massachusetts. \

He intended to get out this spring, but was thwarted in his pur-
pose.

Sincerely,

Director of Physical Education,
PCAsAH | Varsity Basketball Coach. .
