time to browse and ask ques-

of interesting antiquity in
Chestertown.
Now a little lethargic. con-

town, Chestertown was once a
lively port on the Chester
River, from which ships sailed
to England.
In fact, this seat Of Kent
County was so bustling that
Francis Asbury. the Methodist
missionary. saw At some time
after the Revolution to de-
nounce 1t as a very wicked
place"
Presumably he was refer
ring to the number Of taverns
and dances and parties which
history records abounded
there.
The taverns long since
fallen into the dust OF time,
Chestertown now has but a
few restaurants and one no
tel, the Voshell House, which
dates back to Civil War days.
Some houses remain, how
ever, which make the Civil
War seem a recent occurrence

ON SATURDAY President
Truman is scheduled to diSem-
bark from his official yacht
at the somnolent little East
ern Shore community OF
Chestertown, Md.
The purpose Of his visit Is
to receive an LII. D. degree
from DR.. Gilbert w. Mead,
president of Washington Col
lege, a school on the fringe
OF the town and just as old.
Both the college and the
town date back to l707.
When he stands In front OF
the ivy-covered administra-
ton building the Chief Exec
utive will see a bronze plaque
In the cement walkway. The
plaque records that the late
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
was given an honorary de-
gree there in 1888.
Mr.. Truman will be the
third President of the United
States to be so honOred. The
first one was, obviously
enough, George Washington.
Incidentally. this college was
the only one to which the
Father of Our Country off,
cially gave the right to use
his name.
Not a large institution,
Washington College has an
enrolment of $50 students.
