Alumni
SPOTLIGHT
The Horace Dutton Taft Alumni Medal is the school’s highest alumni honor and is given each year to a person whose life work best typifies the school motto: Not to be ministered unto but to minister. The recipient’s life and actions must demonstrate something humanitarian apart from a vocation or service. He or she must have gone above the ordinary demands of life or occupation. Success in a chosen field does not necessarily qualify a person for the honor. At the same time, it is possible for a person to be eminently successful and go beyond the call of duty to serve others. An alumni committee meets each January to review names that have been recommended by fellow alums and to determine the recipient. The award is typically bestowed at the Old Guard Dinner on Alumni Weekend.
