! Honorary Degrees
Many men of prominence, with
| one exception from the State OF
! Maine, were the recipients of homo
! rary degrees. Two residents of .Au-
| gusta and one of Waterville were
among those SO signally honored by
! the college, while the only non-resi-
| dent of the State who was awarded
an honorary degree was Robert Lin
coin O'Brien, editor in chief of the
Boston Herald. One woman was
among the number, Eleanora Bailey
Woodman of Winthrop being the re-
a;-@ - 81 AIor nf
Arts. Mrs. Woodman has been a
benefactress of the college and has
done a very great deal for the I'M
dergraduate as well as aiding in
making permanent Improvements,
among her gifts being the college
stadium and the new granolithic
walks which were installed a year
ago. Her selection by the board of
trustees as a recipient of the degree
conferred was possibly the most pop
ular Of all the awards as Colby owes
to her a debt which such an act can
never hope to adequately repay.
The entire list of those who re-
ceived honorary degrees is as fol-
lows.

gan, member of the class of 1879,
