Tufts University and the University of Pennsylvania announced yesterday that they will award President Pusey honorary degrees.

Tufts will bestow on him an honorary doctor of laws degree this Thursday. Fourteen others, including five college or university presidents, will be honored with President Pusey.

Knox of the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, and A. H. Smith, vice chancellor of Oxford University.
