Henry M. Curry, Jr., 21, student, saved James McCutcheon II from burning, Ithaca, New York, December 7, 1906. During a fire that destroyed the Chi Psi Fraternity House at Cornell University, Curry escaped onto the balcony but, after another student’s attempt, re-entered his room, which was filled with heat and smoke, and dragged his roommate outside. They were taken to the ground by means of ladders, but McCutcheon later died of his injuries. 1527-90
