"Mrs. Harmon, wife of the Norwich President, lowers a floral curtain to christen the Central Vermont Railway Locomotive No. 700 as 'Norwich University.' With Mrs. Harmon is Maynard A. Metcalf, Vice President, Central Vermont-Canadian National Railways, who presented the locomotive to Mrs. Harmon for christening. It is the first time in U.S. railroad history that a steam locomotive has carried the name of an institution of higher learning."
--Norwich Record, November 2, 1951, p28.
