Magna Cum Laude

At the request of Boris III, King of the Bulgars, Dr. Mary Mills Patrick set out from Constantinople, crossed the Bosphorus, made her way to Sofia. There King Boris pinned upon her his

Order for Women, first class. This gesture, Boris explained to Dr. Patrick, was by way of thanks for all she had done for Bulgar women, who have attended the American College for Girls at Constantinople during the 34 years that Dr. Patrick has been head of that institution.

Dr. Patrick, aged 74, has announced that she will now rest from her long educational labors. They say, in Bulgaria, that she was good, helpful to the many Bulgar lasses at her college, letting Bulgar village girls pay their fees in corn and wheat when poverty was upon their land; that she spent nearly 50 vacations in the U. S. raising funds to run the College. They say it was she who mothered Bulgaria's Woman-Suffrage Movement.

Educated at Lyons College, Ia., at the University of Iowa, at Heidelberg, Zuerich, Berne, Leipzig, Berlin, Dr. Pat rick has long been charmed by "divine philosophy." Also, she is a linguist, a Classics devotee. It was not announced whether or not she would now return to the U. S.
