Round III

BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY

Lillian Hellman, L.H.D., playwright. She anatomizes evil at its heart and excises the pathology of sins against the spirit.

Sir Arthur John Gielgud, LL.D., actor-director. Restoration beau and antique Roman, Edwardian dandy and, above all, sable-suited Dane.

George Balanchine, L.H.D., choreographer. Not least of his gifts is the first generation of American-born performers of ballet who mirror his restless austerity of discipline, his untrammeled precision of technique.

Roger Sessions, LL.D., composer. John Ford, L.H.D., motion-picture director.

CASE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Kingman Brewster Jr., LL.D., 17th president of Yale University. Almost any Yaleman can become a university president. But only one can be president of Yale, namely, the best.

DARTMOUTH COLLEGE

Stewart Udall, LL.D., Secretary of the Interior. You speak for conservation as no one has done since the days of T.R.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Romulo Betancourt, LL.D., former President of Venezuela. An intrepid statesman who has demonstrated to the Americas the vitality of democracy.

Adlai Stevenson, LL.D., U.S. representative to the U.N. His intelligence and ready wit have informed and enlivened the political experience of a generation.

Elbert P. Turtle, LL.D., Chief Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth District. The mind and heart of this dauntless judge enhance the great tradition of the federal judiciary.

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

Roy Wilkins, LL.D., Executive Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. For his long patience and enduring courage through the intolerable years of hostility and indifference, intimidation and timidity.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Francis Keppel, LL.D., U.S. Commissioner of Education. He holds a position of utmost importance at a time when the race between education and catastrophe becomes ever more intense.

Orlando Winfield Wilson, LL.D., Chicago superintendent of police. Six years ago the people of Chicago asked, "Who will watch the watchmen?" They chose him --policeman and professor, scholar and administrator--rare man indeed!

OBERLIN COLLEGE Martin Luther King Jr., L.H.D.

Frank Stanton, LL.D., president of CBS.

OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Peter Mbiyu Koinange, LL.D., an alumnus who is now Minister of Education in Kenya.

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY George Seferis, Litto., Greek poet and diplomat.

Lord Caradon of St. Cleer (formerly Sir Hugh Foot), LL.D., British representative to the U.N. His own life fully exemplifies the stirring words of Milton he loves to repeat, "Let not England forget her precedence in teaching, the nations how to live."

ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY (N.Y.) Phyllis McGinley, LL.D., poet. She admits that hers is a cheerful truth. She has drawn attention to the honor of being a woman.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS Richard Cardinal Gushing, L.H.D. Samaritan to the world.

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN James McDivitt, DOCTOR OF ASTRONAUTICAL SCIENCE. By simple personal worth without benefit of heraldry, special privilege or urgent self-seeking, he rose quietly from among us to his present eminence.

Edward White, D.S.A. He has expressed literally by his spontaneity and verve and fancifully by his feats in space that freely willed fulfillment of obligation which conserves the human spirit while permitting concerted action.

WILLIAMS COLLEGE

Allen Dulles, LL.D., former director, C.I.A. Robert Lowell Jr., Litt.D., poet. In compressed lines and uncompromising thought, deeply sensitive to the tragic, you have probed the meeting points of past and present, of crisis and conscience, of Calvinism and Catholicism, of land and sea.

Henry Robinson Luce, LL.D., Editorial Chairman, Time Inc. The history of our century could not be written without recognizing the impact upon journalism and opinion of publications you have fathered, which now reach more than fifty million readers on this earth --with every prospect of future editions for other planets to come.

YALE UNIVERSITY

U Thant, LL.D., Secretary-General of the United Nations. Neither rebuff nor slight has marred the dignity of your office, which is the world's best hope for a government under law which transcends nations.

Paul Codman Cabot, LL.D., treasurer of Harvard University. Two presidents and a succession of fellows of Harvard College have found their burdens of discourse as well as stewardship lightened by the bluntness of your speech and the soundness of your cold-roast Boston eye for the Yankee dollar.

John Coleman Bennett, D.D., president --of Manhattan's Union Theological Seminary. Exemplar and herald of a social order informed by God's righteousness.

Benjamin Spock, L.H.D., professor of child development, Western Reserve University School of Medicine. You have replaced the grandmother in the home.
