New York University may well be proud of her men in the service when they merit such honors as that recently conferred upon Tedford H. Cann, who has been presented with a medal of honor, the highest mark of military or naval distinction in the gift of the government. Especially do we feel a keen sense of pride in that Ted Cann was the first Naval Reserve man in the country to be awarded such a medal. The following is an extract from the New York Tribune: Tedford H. Cann, holder of the wo1'ld's record for the 300-yard swim and one of the best known local athletes, who is a seaman on the U. S. S. May, somewhere on the ocean, doing submarine patrol duty, has been awarded a medal of honor for extraordinary heroism while on duty. Secretary Daniels announced the award in Washington yesterday. In an official letter to the Secretary of the Navy, M. A. McCu1ly, commander of the fleet to which the May was assigned, urged the award. The Secretary's announcement said in part: In accordance with the recommendation of the commanding oflicer of the U. S. S. May, contained in his letter regarding the Hooding of that vessel, a recommendation for a medal of honor for Ted H. Cann is approved. His prompt recognition of an emergency, his fear- less risk of his life without orders and his extraordinary heroism in entering the water with the ship rolling heavily, his Funding the leak and stopping it, deserve, in my opinion, a medal of honor. Cann, who is 20 years old, enlisted last April after he had been offered a berth as a first-class petty oiiicer, which appointment he felt would not let him see active service soon enough. He is the son of Frank H, Cann, physical director at New York University, and was quarterback of the varsity eleven when he enlisted. In March, 1917, he captured the 300' yard swimming title by covering the distance in 3 minutes and 28 seconds. His brother, Howard Cann, has been assigned to a battle- ship, following a three months' preparation in the Naval Academy at Annapolis. On the 31st of March 'fTed Cann received an ensign's commission. 'ix 1 FQURTEEN
