Harvard Confers Degrees on 251

In sweltering Tercentenary Theatre yesterday Harvard conferred 251 degrees, the smallest number since 1875, before a crowd estimated at over 10,000. Only 92 of the degrees went to graduating seniors, the smallest number since 1861; a total of 62 received A.B. degrees, and 31 S.B. The only summa cum lande is Konrad Wise, of Reverly Hills, California, who received highest honors in classical literature.
