President Eliot Honored by B. U.

"Charles William Eliot--The nation's most distinguished educator and foremost private citizen" were the words of President Lemuel Herbert Murlin or Boston University in conferring an honary degree of Doctor of Laws on President Eliot at the 50th anniversary ceremony of Boston University yesterday in Symphony Hall.

President Eliot was not the only Harvard alumnus who was honored there. Three other former Harvard men received Doctor of Law degrees and Miss Comstock, third president of Radcliffe College, also received this degree. These men were; Rev. William Lawrence '71, Bishop of Massachusetts; Rev. George Angier Gordon '81, pastor of Old South Church; and Mr. Arthur Prentiss Rugg L. '14, chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court.
