Radcliffe Honors Josephine Hull at 75th Anniversary

Josephine Hull '99, who won an Academy Award for her performance in "Harvey," will receive one of the eight citations Radcliffe plans to award at its 75th Anniversary Celebration on Dec. 3, the CRIMSON learned yesterday.

The Radcliffe Administration, which does not normally give honorary degrees, decided to award citations to distinguished alumnae on this special occasion. But Mildred P. Sherman, Dean of College Relations and Director of the Anniversary Celebration, would neither confirm nor deny the names of the recipients. Last night, however, Mrs. Hull said that she would definitely receive a citation.

Other Recipients

Mrs. Hull who has been ill, said, "I'm very happy my doctors are letting me attend the ceremony and receive my citation in person." Before her recent illness she starred in the Broadway play, "The Solid Gold Cadillac."

Five other alumnae receiving citations were contacted yesterday. They are:

Dr. Martha M. Eliot '13, Director of the United States Children's Bureau, and ex-Director of the United Nations' World Health Organization; Miss Mabel W. Daniels '00, well-known composer; Mrs. Serge Gaposchkin '35, noted astronomer; Dr. Priscilla White '21, diabetes specialist and author of "Diabetes in Childhood and Adolescence"; Mrs. Henry G. Doyle '40, who has been active in combatting juvenile delinquency in Washington, D.C.

The other two alumnae slated for recognition are still unknown, but some authorities believe that Mrs. Maud W. Park '98, is a possible candidate. At Radcliffe, Mrs. Park founded the first chapter of the College Equal Suffrage of the United States. She was also the first president of the National League of Women Voters.

Two of those honored will speak at the Commemorative exercises in Sanders Theatre on Dec. 3.
