NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

MASTER OF ARTS

Francis Wells Hunnewell: For twenty years the beloved Secretary, who amid the rapids has helped to make the boat run smoothly on her course.

Joseph Rochemont Hamlen: A true friend of the University, who has brought the Alma Mater and the Alumni closer together by telling her their thoughts, and showing to her sons their mother's face.

Philip Hale: Acute and learned critic, striving to promote the arts of music and improve the public taste.

Louis Edward Kirstein: A power for good in his city, ever ready for effort in the public weal.

DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

DOCTOR OF DIVINITY

Andre de Laboulaye: Eminent as diplomat, whose nation and ours have in critical times helped each other, and must ever retain that precious memory.

Sir Ronald Charles Lindsay: Every from the land of our first settlers, whence we have drawn our language, our laws and our traditions, we welcome you to our Society for what you are and for what you represent.
