Provost Paul H. Buck received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at Brown University Commencement exercises last week.

In Buck's citation, President Henry M. Wriston said:

"Leadership is an intensely individual matter; its manifestations are as different as the personalities of men. . . .

"Your deep and pervasive influence has been exercised in quiet, depending upon lucidity of thought, candor of expression, wide knowledge, unflinching courage, and unflagging dedication to the academic enterprise.
