THE ARCHER CHRISTIAN MEMORIAL MEDAL HE Archer Christian Memorial Medal was ffounfdedwby the lag-3mMr,lA. WH. Christian, Jr., of Richmond, Virginia, in 1910, in memory of his son, Archer Christian, the older of two brothers who entered Woodberry Forest in September, 1906. In his Form VI year Archer was captain of the football team, first baseman on the baseball team, a member of the Prefect Board, and altogether one of the most inHuential boys at Woodberry Forest. Entering the University of Virginia in September, 1909, he lost his life shortly thereafter in a football game between Virginia and Georgetown. His tragic end cast a pall of gloom over both his school and his college. The Archer Christian Memorial Medal is awarded each year to that member of Form VI who has most distinguished himself for soundness of character, leadership, and athletic achievement. It became at once the most coveted honor attainable at Woodberry Forest. Other medals have been established which are highly valued, but standing as The Archer Christian Medal does for those qualities which make for sturdy manhood, its place in the esteem of the boys has remained impregnablc throughout the years.
