LINCOLN, June Sc special. -
A victim of the Lusitania tragedy
was awarded a degree in the gradu-
nte college of the State university
yesterday, when the faculty met and
passed finally upon the list OF gradu
ates which was presented to the uni
versity Board of Regents today for
their approval.
Indu Prakas Banerji, Hindu, a
graduate OF the University of Cal
Cutta, president of the Cosmopolitan
club of the State university, and said
to have delivered one of the most re-
markable addresses heard here at the
occasion of his Inauguration, was
given a masters degree in sociology
and political economy, although it is
believed he was one of the many who
went down with the Lusitanis. Ban
erji sailed on the boat, according to
the message which DR.. Dean r. Lee
minister received from the vice pres
ident OF the Cunard line, after the
university authorities had interested
themselves in his behalf. He was
not among the list of saved and I'M
doubtedly persisted, the Cunard Off
cial wired.
To 80 he
faculty granted the degree, however.
Banerji hurried away before the uni
Horsity closed to reach the bedside of
his aged father. who was reported to be
critically ILL., A cablegram he received
In New York caused him to cancel pas
ege on a later ship and take the Lusi-
tanis. He had planned to serve as mis-
sionary to his people and was looking
forward to securing his masters degree
Quite a number of university seniors
failed to graduate at the last minute as
result Of sluffing during the last few
weeks. The class, however is the larg-
est in the history of the university. Fol-
lowing IL the list of graduates:
