DR. JESSE KREKORE MARDEN

Of New Hampshire and Dartmouth lineage, your own career continues the noble service of your father in the work of Christian Missions in Turkey; by ability as a physician and through skill as a surgeon among the racial groups of Asiatic Turkey, commanding position and affectionate regard became yours; by your self-forgetful ministry support was won for the erection of the most excellently equipped hospital within wide areas. When, after the World War, there followed the massacres of thousands of your erstwhile wards, and American missionaries were forced to leave the country, as Medical Director of the Near East Belief your accomplishment was outstanding. Subsequently, in consecration to the needs of the people whom you had long served, you accompanied the flood of refugees to Greece. Here on historic ground on the Bay of Phaleron your home has become a center of medical and spiritual relief; social centers for the homeless have been erected and equipped; and unfailing personal devotion, as formerly in your home across the Aegean, is making you here the beloved physician. I confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Science.
