"300TH PROVED FAITH OF WORLD IN HIGHER EDUCATION"--GREENE

TELLS OF WORK DONE IN PAST AND JOBS TO COME

Tercentenary Medal

Another technician mentioned by Mr. Greene is Graham Carey '14 who designed the official Tercentenary Medal. The design follows very closely upon the usage of the seventeenth century. Further, old methods of die-cutting were used by the metal founders, so that the finished product is in a fitting ancient style.

Decorations for the Tercentenary Theatre were handled by the University architects, the firm of coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch, and Abbott.

Degree Recipients

Mr. Green also spoke of a certain mis-understanding which has arisen concerning the recipients of honorary degrees, and he mentioned a letter published recently in the Transcript by Henry D. Sedgwick '82, who objected to the fact that no great musicians or artists had been honored by Harvard.

According to Mr. Greene, this type of man was not intended to be included on the list. As an example he classed musicians, artists, or business men as practitioners, and not fundamental theorists and scientists. Harvard he said wished to boner only this latter class, and for this reason a degree was given to a great musical historian, no a musician, to a great fundamental economist, not a business man.
