Civil War Medallion Stumps Monitories

A mysterious copper medallion bearing an image of the U.S.S. Monitor was turned over for identification yesterday to American Patriots for Raising the Monitor. The coin, dated 1864, is owned by Waldo J. Tyler of Wollaston. Tyler were it on his watch chain as a youth, but does not know its origin or purpose.

Meanwhile, a field chapter of the organization has been formed at the University of Chicago. The chapter is headed by Miss Constance Sturgis, who reported last night that the group is "on file and officially registered" at the Chicago Dean's Office.
