class OF 1913, Bowdoin, received the high
est honors conferred by the class at the
Ivy day exercises last week, being awarded
the wooden spoon as the most popular
man OF the class. The president Of the
class, in presenting the spoon, said:
The last Of our class gifts, the wooden
spoon. Is made with all the seriousness that
underiies our jolly companionship. 1t rep-
resents the love between man and man which
lies beneath the light surface of the college
man, and IL is given TO the truest and the
noblest and the best among us. To Philip
Shaw Wood belongs the greatest honor which
the class of 1918 can give to any man. Il has
bestowed on him this wooden spoon-not as
its popular man, for mere popularity may
stand for little-but as it's finest combination
of strong manhood and true good fellowship
las its worthiest representative. His high
qualities have been felt by us all as members
of this class during the three years that he
has been with us. He stands to-day before
us as man among men. Philip Shaw Wood
in giving you this honor. we have chosen
you as that man who is most to US all as a
generous, noble, sympathetic friend and COM
panion. as the one among us who has best
fulfilled that great commandment 'sThou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.n This
wooden spoon-the simplest and yet the
greatest of gifts--is the symbol of our feeling
toward you. Take it, and receive it with the
deepest love and best wishes of every heart
which beats to-day within these walls
