Professor C. S. Sargent '02, director of the Arnold Arboretum, has been awarded the Frank N. Meyer Agricultural Medal by the American Genetic Association "for distinguished services in the field of foreign plant introduction".
The medal, which had been sent to the University to be bestowed upon Dr. Sargent was presented to him yesterday by President Lowell at a luncheon given by Dr. Sargent for the Overseers' committee on the Arnold Arboretum. This committee is engaged in raising funds to enable the Arboretum to carry on its work in the future.
The award of the medal is made at irregular intervals to men who have done conspicuous service in bringing into the United States useful and valuable plants. In a letter which accompanied the medal, the Council of the American Genetic Association referred to Dr. Sargent as "easily the outstanding leader in the world of plant introduction".
