Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 78, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 June 1901 — More Honor for Delos Coen. [ARTICLE]
More Honor for Delos Coen.
At the time The Republican recited the victories of Delos Coen in the field day contests at Highland Park, it was unaware of a higher honor that had been won by him and one that is vastly more gratifying to his parents and many friends here, that of being awarded a medal for the highest scholarship in the Junior year of the military academy he attended. He has not only been able to leap high and far on the athletio field but his leap has also included the distancing of all his classmates in scholastic attainments as well. Should he be successful in winning the same honor in the Senior year, and it is needless to say he intends making every effort to do so, he will be awarded the oollege scholarship for the attainment. Rensselaer students in the various colleges they attend oontinue to bring honor to the city of their birth, and this year two, Auburn Nowels at Culver and Delos Coen at Highland Park, have each won medals of highest attainment at the military sohools they attended.
