Davage Honored

Two persons received the degree of Doctor of Laws. They were Dr. Matthew S. Davage, Secretary of the board of education for Negro schools, Methodist Church, Nashville, Tennessee, and Dr. Robert Henry Pfeiffer, Boston, Massachusetts.

Bishop John W. E. Bowen of Atlanta, Ga. delivered the baccalaureate address to the graduates and termed their stay at the college an experience in the "Garden of Eden."

He stressed the opportunity for personal achievement which he said was greater for members of the colored race than ever before in history. He warned against the temptations which may give rise to conceit because of superior educational achievement and urged them to meet the obligations of that experience.

Other commencement exercises of the season included the dedication of the $310,000 Jessie M. Reynolds Residence Hall and the $75,000 faculty apartment house, and the cornerstone laying of the new student union building which when completed will represent a cost of $500,000.

In recognition of his twenty-three years of service to the college the board of trustees granted to President David D. Jones a year's sabbatical leave. President Jones said that he had made no definite plans for the leave, which will be taken in the next eighteen months, but added that part of the time will be used in travel.
