I was very happy to read the remarks of the president of Bates College. Thomas Hedley Reynolds. when he conferred that degree. because he left Vermont to become president of Bates College. His remarks were partially as follows: MARGARET CHASE SMITH: What could be more appropriate for a recent immigrant from Vermont than to have the privilege of conferring a degree on an indomitable Yankee whose credo is thoroughly understood on the other side of New England and across the world. For your honesty. for your courage. for your simplicity. we honor ourselves in conferring upon you this degree. Therefore. by the authority vested in me by the Board of Trustees.
