Recipient of a Radcliffe degree cum laude at today's exercises in Sanders will be small, sixtyish Mabel M. Brewerton of Brookline, who is completing this June the college course that she began in September, 1902.

Compelled to drop out of the class of 1906 for lack of money to continue at the Annex and ill health, Miss Brewerton became a court stenographer, won an appointment to the staff of the Norfolk-Plymouth Superior Court in Dedham, reported some famous trials, including that of Sacco and Vanzetti, and on retirement reentered college.

Back at the 'Cliffe, Miss Brewerton has shunned standard undergraduate activities, and service on the Student Government Assembly, pleading that she needed all daylight hours for study since her eyes aren't what they used to be.
