HONORARY DEGREE CITATIONS

WILBUR KITCHENER JORDAN

Professor of History, Harvard UniversityPresident Emeritus, Radeliffe College

DOCTOR OF LAWS

Your claim on our admiration is rooted in the academic trinity: teacher, scholar, and administrator. An instinct for fundamental things, a capacity for work beyond the bait of any man's dollar, and a scholar's soul, these combined in you to bring the quickening insight of good history to two of man's great civilizing causes: religious toleration and secular charity. A far-sighted academician, you prepared for your presidency by recruiting a lady destined to be a most delightful dean, and thereby you also acquired as brother-in-law, Dartmouth's incomparable. Beardsley Ruml, trustee-at-large to all education. The academic world honors you as an historian whose work possesses "a certain finality" and as a scholar whose love of seventeenth century England withstood the blandishments of even the Radcliffe presidency. Thanks to you the denizens of Brattle Street and Harvard Square are said today to be institutionally as one in fact if not in fancy. Here in this outpost citadel of the male we can only marvel at such things, but knowing you as neighbor, friend, and sometime Great Issues lecturer we do avow that our affection and our admiration are as one in welcoming you into the Dartmouth family as a Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

RALPH LAZARUS '35

President, Federated Department Stores,Inc.; Overseer of Amos Tuck School ofBusiness Administration

DOCTOR OF LAWS

If that great-grandfather who started it all in Columbus in 1851 with a $3,000 men's clothing store could see the billion dollars of retail sales over which you preside he might well conclude that keeping the family in shirtsleeves for four generations had not been a bad idea. Such enterprise is a proud part of the American story, but the honor done America by you is witnessed not merely in well-managed stores; you do us all honor because. you have made the great causes of human welfare, education, and peace your business. Today as President of the United Community Funds and Councils of America you head the most American of all movements, the voluntary response of people to the needs of their communities; five years ago you led the first major policy statement by a national group of business leaders proposing Federal aid to education as part of the way to better schools. With gratitude for the fulfillment she knows through you, Dartmouth delights to enroll such a son, Class of 1935, on the family scroll as Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

STEWART LEE UDALL

Secretary of the Interior;Author of "The Quiet Crisis"

DOCTOR OF LAWS

Out of a Mormon heritage, a family tradition of public service, including a father who believed in teaching his son to work and a mother who just plain expected a son "to be something," you have become one of the teachers-at-large to our time. Trained in law, nurtured in both Arizona politics and her open spaces, seasoned in statecraft as a Congressman and Cabinet officer, a man of liberal learning as well as liberal outlook, you today speak of conservation as no one has done since the days of T. R. You teach the universal and endless lesson that the true one world is the world that belongs not to men, let alone nations, but in nature's truth to all life and that only as we make that truth our own can we hope to inherit the earth and the fullness thereof. Dartmouth, by reason of place, heritage, and purpose stands committed to the pursuit of this truth and in witness thereof she bestows on you her highest measure of respect, her Doctorate of Laws, honoris causa.

SHIKO MUNAKATA

Japanese Artist

DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

To have both you and your work with us - to borrow from one of your titles — is a "Wonderful Feeling in the Wind." Or perhaps this particular wind might better be pictured as a typhoon of intensity and yet a gale of laughter. Born the third son of a blacksmith, raised as his helper, out of a talent for ideas of the eye, deft hands, religious sensitivity, Japanese traditions, a lately learned universality, and above all a spirit that transcends the limitations of effort and even aspiration, you are today the foremost creator of hanga, the Japanese art of wood-block printing, in the words of a curator - "the sole modern artist native to the Orient who has been acclaimed both at home and abroad." It is a fitting, happy thing that as the climax of her Japanese year Dartmouth should be privileged to affirm this appreciation of yourself and of your art with this award of her Doctorate of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

AILEEN OSBORN WEBB

Chairman, American Craftsmen's Council; Chairman, Crafts Advisory Committee,Hopkins Center

DOCTOR OF HUMANE LETTERS

In Polynesia you could be addressed as "Tane-Mata-Ariki" - the craftsman's sponsoring deity. In twentieth century America "Mrs. Webb" means the same thing. A potter who paints, a wood carver who gardens and who incidentally beheads rattlesnakes as just part of the art of a properly trimmed hedge, you personify the American crafts renaissance you have led. Whether founding a crafts movement, a school or a museum, you have been dauntless in pursuit of the truth that practical people do things and really practical people do good things. The craft arts of this College and this community are largely the fruit of your early planting; Dartmouth's Doctorate of Humane Letters, honoris causa, bespeaks both our gratitude to you and our continuing allegiance to your aegis.

GEORGE PACKER BERRY

Dean, Harvard Medical School

DOCTOR OF SCIENCE

You are an authority without peer on the care and cure of doctors. For forty years since taking your oath as a Johns Hopkins medical graduate you have attended your great and ancient calling with both professional and loving care. A bacteriologist who pioneered work on the mechanisms of virus infections, a professor of medicine who led Harvard medicine to fresh distinction as dean of the faculty of medicine, a trustee of your alma mater, Princeton, a wise adviser of many learned enterprises, and a steward of foundation funds with a sense of purpose to match his sense of dollars, you merit our special appreciation because with all this, and more, you have counselled and encouraged medical education at Dartmouth with the abiding fidelity of a general practitioner whose specialty is the art of understanding. In testimony whereof Dartmouth confers on you her Doctorate of Science, honoris causa.
