Warner medal to Prof. Stephen Tim-

this week in New York.
Professor Timoshenko was award-
ed the medal for his contributions to!
the theory of design of elastic struc-
tures and to treatment of the dy-
namics of moving machinery.
"This award is one of the highest
honors which can be conferred by the!
Society," Prof. Edward L. Eriksen,
chairman of the department of me-
chanical engineering, said last night,
"and the recognition of Professor
Timoshenko's work is well-merited,
since he is one of the most outstand-

country, but in the world."
Professor Timoshenko came to
America in 1918, when he was forced
to leave Russia because of the Revo-
lution. He was connected with the
