Copenhagen, Dee. 22.-It is not be-
lieved that either the University of
Copenhagen or the Royal Geographical
they conferred on DR.. Frederick A.
Cook. Officials of the University say
that the institution did not hestow the
degree as a reward for the discovery
of the pole. but merely in recognition
of DIR. Cooks Arctic explorations. The
Royal Geographical Society takes the
same grounds.
The morning papers generally find
comfort for the Cook affair in the
thought that the only fault that may
be charged against the Danes is that
they accepted the explorers word as
that of a gentleman.
The Politiken says: Frankly, We re-
srct only that an honorary degree was
bestowed upon this man by the Uni
versity of Copenhagen. But one mem
Der of the university council advised
against the action taken"
The Koeibenhavn says: Cooks
ahasing of the university is his great
st shame. Fortunately the university
itself tells the world of its mistake"
Other papers recall that all the
Scandinavian explorers who were &C
Iuainted with Cook supported him and
insist that under the circumstances ar
other city would have given the eX-
norer a similar reception They .nt1-
mate that ar the time other cities en-
We'd Copenhagen its opportunity to
first welcome and honor him.
