...small Reed College (Portland, Ore.) smart young President Dexter Keezer announced that he would break a 22-year Reed rule against kudos in favor of five men and women who had never received an honorary degree. Among President Keezer's discoveries were the New York Times's Labor Reporter Louis Stark (see p. 41), LL.D., Rudolph Forster, senior member of the White House secretariat, LL.D., and Willard W. Beatty, Director of Education of the Office of Indian Affairs, Ed.D...
