Original article in The Tech, May 6 1960: "Jeffrey Hogge, left, an MIT freshman, is shown receiving the medal for

bravery of the Massachusetts Humane Society. In November, Hogge dove

into the Charles to rescue an elderly man who had leaped from the Harvard

Bridge. He succeeded in bringing the man to shore, in a rescue that was impeded by lack of cooperation among onlookers.

The Medal is being awarded by Francis Higginson, president of the

Society, while MIT President Julius A. Stratton looks on. Hogge is the son

of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Hogge, Jr., of 6712 Adera Street, Vancouver, B. C."
