Description
Digital photograph of a medal awarded to University of Oregon medical student Sandford Loeb in 1902. A handwritten tag attached to the award and a typed provenance card can also be seen.
A medal awarded to student Sandford Loeb in the Medical Department of the University of Oregon, in 1902. The department awarded only two medals in 1902: the Saylor Gold Medal, for the highest total credits earned in four years, and the Anatomy Gold Medal, for the highest total mark in the fields of Anatomy, Histology, and Osteology. This medal is neither of those, as Loeb is not listed in the catalogs for that year as a recipient. This may have been presented upon graduation to all students. The medal was donated by Mrs. Lew Blumenthal in April 1946 and is in good condition. It measures 4 x 2.5 cm and depicts a skull and crossbones set on an open book. The reverse of the medal is engraved with Loebs name and the date.
