 Boston, March s-Prince Henry oi | Prussia was the guest of Harvard and 1 Boston to-day and his welcome to the 1 city was stately and cordial. Cover
 nor Winthrop Murray Crane and Mayor F. A. Collins, acting for state and city extended the official courtesies and when the prince had tremendously re | turned their calls, he went to Cam l bridge to deliver to the Germanic mu-
 scum the gifts of his brother, the Kais- l CT Wilhelm, and to receive from liar
 yard the honorary degree of doctor of
 laws. Harvard's honor to the prince
 is a precedent, for never before was a
 degree conferred under like circum-
 stances.

The prince received a cablegram from his brother, the emperor. offering con- gratulations on the new honor bestoW- ed.
 Tonight the prince was given din- ner by the city of Boston and sat at a table with more than 200 of the repre- sentative citizens of the commonwealth. He resumes his way early tomorrow ed States military academy at West Point en route to New York which he will reach Friday evening.
 At the university he was first taken to Memorial hall, where he met the cor poration of the college and then to Sanders theater, where the degree was conferred. President Eliot, who ap peared in the scholars gown addressed the prince, and conferred the degree. President Eliot's concluding remarks were as follows:
 We gladly welcome here to-day a worthy representative of German greatness, worth in station, profession and character. We see in him, how ever, something more than the repre- sentative of a superb nationality and an imperial ruler. Universities have long memories. Forty years ago the American union was In deadly peril, and thousands of it's young men were l,1 ar,d fop ic 0rpIf. b1y reported that at d very critical mo- ment the queen of England said to her prime minister: My lord, you must understand that I shall sign no paper which means war with the United States The grandson of that illustri- ous woman is sitting with us here Now, therefore, in exercise of authority given me by the president and fellows and the board of overseers, and in the favoring presence of the friends here assembled, I create honorary doctor of laws Albert William Henry, prince of Prussia, and vice admiral, and in the name of this society of scholars, I de- clare that he is entitled to the rights and privileges pertaining to this de- gree, and that his name is to be forever borne on it's roll of honorary members.
 The prince did not respond in speech to the address of the president, but simply bowed an acknowledgement. He was next escorted to the faculty room where he met the faculty, and with his staff lunched with them
