No Honorary Degrees.
Georgetown will not confer any hon.
orary degrees at it's commencement
this year in accordance with the Gus
tom of omitting such honors at inter-
walls. Owing to the higher academic
standards in effect the graduates also
will be fewer in number this year than
last This is particularly true of the
Law School, where there is no senior
afternoon class, heretofore the largest
in any department. This is because
the Law School has extended its term
to four years, which affects the after
noon section this year.
