YANGON On this day in 1935, US missionary Brayton Clarke Case, the founder of the first agricultural school in Myanmar, was awarded the Kaiser in Hind (K.I.H) silver medal, an award given by the British government to those who distinguish themselves through important and useful service in the advancement of public interests.
Upon reaching the stage in Mandalay Palace to receive the medal, Case, who was commonly known as Bo Cake among Burmese people, spoke of Adeniran Judson, an American missionary who first introduced Christianity in Myanmar, and William Henry Roberts, another American Baptist minister who worked for many years as a missionary in northern Myanmar.
