Among the gentlemen on whom the honorary degree of LL. D. was conferred, were James Russell Lowell, Dr. J. S. Billings, Assistant Surgeon General U. S. A., Professor W. H. Green of Princeton, Dr. Fordyce Barker of New York, and Principal Dawson of Montreal. At the banquet Prof. Lowell responded for literature. "There is no country in the world that owes so much to literature as Scotland. I bring with me the felicitations of three American universities, and their Godspeed to the older university here. We feel as strong as ever that blood is thicker than water. I warmly reciprocate-and feel that I am expressing the feelings of Americans in so doing-the expressions of friendship used at this banquet."
