DESERVES HONORABLE MENTION
President Whitman Requested to Fut
Henry Leonard on the List.

The following letter explains itself:
Washington, D. c., June IA, 1897.
DR. B. l.. Whitman. President OF The Co
lumhian University:
Dear Sir: We hearth lyreCOmmeadthat the
name OF Mr.. Henry Leonard be added to
the list of names of members of the senior
class reported for honorable mention. He
took both parts of the Junior examination
before Prof Cox by mistake and OF course,
Prof. John son had no paper from him, hut
it was not remembered that he had given
Prof Cox papers covering both parts of the
junior examination, which he did not need
to take, except to entitle him to compete
for the Parker prize. Mr. LeUnard's papers
were excellent, and it is but simple justice
to him that he should have a place on the
roll of honor of his class, especially as
through the same mischanCe he lost the OPP
portunity to be considered as a competitor
for the prize.
