Owen F. Herring, who taught religion at Wake Forest from 1946 until he retired in 1963, received the Medallion of Merit for outstanding service to the school. DavidS. Weaver, who has been on the faculty since 1977, received the excellence in teaching award. The recipient is selected from among the undergraduate faculty's instructors and ass1stant professors. The citation for Herring read by Willard Hamrick, professor and chairman of the department of religion said, in part: "Sometimes there is a person in our educational land in whose mind inquiry and faith live in happy and productive accord. Such a person is blessed, and those who know him draw strength and knowledge and a certain kind of peace from his presence" Herring joined the Wake Forest faculty in 1946 and became professor emeritus in 1963. He was pastor of the Watts Street Baptist Church in Durham, N.C. from 1939 until1946. While the College was in the Town of Wak~ Forest he was pastor of nearby New Hope Baptist Church.
