HON DEGREES.
Some Reflections OF Timely Interest at the
College Commencement season.


College Commencement season.
From the New York World.
The season of college cOmmencements is at
hand and a shower OF honorary degrees will
soon take place pretty much all over the
country The whole number of colleges in
the United States, as enumerated by the
commissioner of education, is 36j, the ma
jority of which ought not to be graded above
the rank OF high school, and many OF them
send forth graduates whom a first. class high
school would be very slow to acknowledge.
But all academic graduates are alike made
Bachelors of Arts or Science. These degrees,
however, with those of Medicine, Law, The
ology, Civil Engineering, etc, have more
meaning than those OF Z" \. NJ" "D. D."
aud LII. D." since they testify that a cer-
tain course of study has been pursued at
least to some extent They do not pretend
to indicate distinction in any particular class.
If student Is graduated at all, whether his
scholarship Is good or bad, he secures one,
and no one need be altogether misled.
The degree of " A. NJ" is supposed to in
dicate marked progress, and some institu-
tions so regard it, but in the majority of cases
anv " A. B." can obtain an " A. NJ" after a
certain lapse of time 10y simply applying for
it and paving a fee. The result is that it has
become practically valueless, although col
leges do not of their own motion grant ii
without cause, as a rule. But the comforting
OF " ID. D." or LII. D." is supposed TO be
altogether voluntary act and would justly
be regarded as "A very considerable honor il
it had not been hOpelessly chespened by
want of discrimination. No clergyman who
is really entitled To the degree OF " d. D."
as gauged by the old standards, is now
helped particle 10y it. He is very much
greater than his title conveys any idea of,
since II almost invariably accompanies pulpit
vapidity OF the fashionable sort.
The misapplication of LII. d." is per-
haps even more marked. There is some
thing of a traditional awe still felt among as
piring scholars at the sound of those letters,
and yet how the title has been abused Lit
tie cross road " universities " bestow it with
unblushing prodgality upon any one who
makes pretensons to good grammar and
they think will help them along. The big
colleges themselves do not hesitate to place
this badge of learning on distinguished but
comparatively illIterate soldiers. In fact
there is now decided military flavor about
ii. If the institutions OF deserved reputation
thus pervert the honorary degrees, what can
be expected of the quack colleges? The
probability is that the abuses alluded to have
gone so far that there is no chance for reform.
And perhaps it is well enough as it is. The
people at large at present possess very good
capacity for finding man out No one is
likely to suffer because titles have lost their
value. 1t is n debatable question whether
they are not relics of barbarism.

Miss fort"scur, Who Got s5O.O0O for Hreach

Miss finney whoisprobably better known
10y her professional name aS Miss Fortsscue,
who gained considerable nOtoriety by her

April, lssl, at the Opera Comique London,

Lord Garmoyle in lSS1. lie was greatly im.
pressed with her destinations, and cultivated
intimacy. In July lss3 he proposed mar
risget to her aud was accepted. Parental
sanction was promptly gained on both sides
and the engagement made public through a
newspaper paragraph. Soon after Lord Gar
moyle told his betrothed that his family held
very strong views in regard to tho theatre
and stage lite They thoug ht an actors pro
iession was not only fun OF peril but was un-
godly and proiane. lie was careful to assure
her that he did not share these views, but I
his request she abandoned the stage. Miss
Fo-tescue was after this invited to Lord
Cairns house, where she was atlectionately
greeted by both Lord and Lady Cairns,
Suddenly and without tho previous hint
that such an idea was entert lined, Lord Gar
moyie broke oil the engagement and Miss
IOrtescne Immediately brought action to re-
cover so, 900 ~ a save Tor the injury done
her, and public acknowledgement by Gar
mOyle's counsel that there was no ground Tor

duct was lrreproachahle throughout At
tsto compromise proved futile, and as
public opinion strongly favored the lady, and
there Is no doubt that had the case proceeded
the damages granted by the jury would have
exceeded the large sum already claimed, the
counsel for the defendant consented without
objection to a verdict OF { 900, adding that
Lord Garmoyle wished To say that not the
slightest imputatiOn rested on Miss Fortes-
cues character, that she had conducted her
self rs high-minded English gentlewoman
throughout their intercourse. Thus beauty
and worth gained splendid financial COM
pensstion for an injury wrought by unfaith-

without excuse. Miss Fortescue is described

of showing sympathy with their characters,
and arousing our feelings with and for them,
instead OF asking us coldly to look on while
with cynical or flippant callousness they
probe into and disclose the hearts and minds
OF their subject but don't let them imagine
that for the sake of these wholesome i'm
provemen.s the intelligent reading public
will iorego the graces OF literary style, or
condone a careless, slipshod manner or form
of expression. No more fatal error could be
made for the success of their worthy cause
than to cumber and destroy the effectiveness
of their work by neglect OF the style. Yet /

NOTHING Is more certain than this, that If
unwholesome fiction clothed in grace and
beauty is ever to be superseded by whole
some, 1t can only be by clothing the latter in
still more perfect beauty and grace. IL Bal

be by less finished aud conscientious literary
