CLASS OF 1883

Rev. Sidney L. Gulick, missionary of the American Board in Japan, who has been working while on furlough in this country for a better understanding by Americans of the Japanese problems and position, was honored by Yale University with the degree of Doctor of Divinity at the last Commencement. The Board released Dr. Gulick until January 1, 1915, at the request of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, to represent the Council in addresses before chambers of commerce, city clubs, churches, universities, and other organizations in the interest of better relations with Japan, and he was engaged for some months in this work. He has now sailed from San Francisco with Prof. Shailer Mathews of the University of Chicago, both being delegates from the Council to the Christian churches of Japan and to the people of that country on the same errand of peace and mutual understanding.

Secretary, Alfred E. Watson, Hartford, Vt.
