J. P. Seiberling, former chair-
man of the board of the Seiberling
Rubber Co. and chairman of the
1961 Princeton awards committee.
The Princeton '21 Class of 401
members began in 1946 the award-
ing of citation# to honor men na-
tionally known for their success
in business or in their particular
profession. John H. Leh of Allen-
town. Pa., secretary of the class,
said.
“There are a great many distin-
guished men in our class and
this is one way of paying tri-
bute to them." Leh said. "This
Distinguished Service Award is the
finest honor that the members
of the 1921 class can pay to a
classmate."
Since 1946 the class has made
28 such awards
Matthews' citation was for his
outstanding work in his particular
field, ranching.
