page the Congregationalist says:
"Were he not kept in proper bounds
by generous supply of native mod
esty President-elect G. o. Day of An
dover Seminary would be exalted
overmuch, for in the grist of COM
mencement degrees no less than three
have fallen to his lot. He is a Doc
tor of Divinity by grace of both Dart
mouth and Iowa, while his own alma
mater, Yale, has made him a Master

devolves upon his successor, Mr..
