Alva, Ok., June 1 (1914) - Another graduate of the Oklahoma state schools has been heard form, this time in the person of Rev. Lyman V. Rutledge, formerly of this city, and a graduate of the Northwestern State Normal School, and later of the Oklahoma University. The Cambridge, (Mass.) Chronicle was received by J. P. Renfrew, editor of Renfrew's Record, containing the information that Rev. Rutledge had just been called to the pastorate of the Harvard Street Unitarian Church at Cambridge, one of the oldest churches in the United States, located under the shadow of America's great and cultured university.

Mr. Rutledge came to this city in 1900, when his father, the late Dr. C. F. Turledge located here with his family. With his brother and sister he entered the Northwestern State Normal School, graduation with the class of 1904. He later entered the Oklahoma University which he attended one year, and later received the degree of A. B. from the Kansas University in 1908. He went to Cambridge in 1908 and entered Harvard, and two years later left Harvard to accept a call to Billerica, Mass., Unitarian church, where he had been located since that time.
