Mr. M. C. Lefferts, of New York, has presented to the College Library the diploma given to Washington Irving as a doctor of laws, at the Commencement of 1832. It bears the signature of Josiah Quincy as President, and, as usual, contains a brief characterization which may be freely translated as follows: "Scholar and true gentleman; skilful portrayer of lands and customs, delighting his readers with the delicacy of his wit or stirring them with the splendor of his diction; who by his many and admirably finished works has won fame for himself and for his country." The diploma is framed, and hangs for the present in the Reading Room of Gore Hall.
