Shane, Allen Are Honor Men
Double Award Made Only Once in the Past
Presson S. Shane and Robert E. Allen were named as "Honor Men of 1941" at the nineteenth honors convocation this morning in Hoch auditorium. Only once before has a double award been made, that being in 1938.
Before announcing the names, Chancellor Deane W. Malott explained that the committee, in considering the candidates for award, had found these two equally deserving. Because
each proved himself outstanding by his qualities of leadership, scholarship, character, and service to the University in a different field, the committee decided, since no distinction could be made, to make the double award.
Shane, a graduate from the School of Engineering with the de- tree of bachelor of science in chemical engineering, is now a second lieutenant in the coast artillery school at Fort Monroe, Va. Holder of a Summerfield scholarship, he was a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternities, Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholastic fraternity, and Sachem, senior men's honor society.
Allen, son of Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, was graduated from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the degree of bachelor of science in chemistry. Besides his scholastic achievements, he was an outstanding athlete. Indeed, many consider him one of the greatest basketball players the University has had. A member of Phi Beta Kappa and Sachem, Allen is now studying medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.
