War Work Prevents Conant From Speaking at Colgate

Pressure of war work on President James B. Conant was such that he was unable to speak yesterday at the ceremony inducting Everett N. Case '27 as president of Colgate University, as originally planned. He has just completed his work as a member of President Roosevelt's Rubber Survey Committee, and is serving as chairman of the National Research Defense Council.

Donald K. David '12, dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration represented Harvard at the ceremony.

Joseph Clark Grew '02, further Ambassador to Japan and president of the Harvard Alumni Association, was awarded the Honorary Doctor of Laws degree.
