I could not find directly a news article on this award those years, but maybe this way we can conclude the right year. Has somebody an idea which science journal or other news channel around 1921 and 1924 can provide evidence of the year when Adams received the Edward Longstreth Medal? -- SchreyP (messages) 17:15, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
