...establishment. An honorary degree in Medicine was first given in 1783, and during the first part of the nineteenth century the special M.D. became a fairly regular Commencement award. With the introduction of the doctorate in science the M.D. fell into disuse. It was revived in 1909 for Charles William Eliot in recognition of his reorganization of the Harvard Medical School, but has not been awarded since. The Doctorate of Dental Medicine, which was first given out in 1870, has likewise had little...

No one can tell me." While Republican Leader Everett Dirksen gleefully yielded five minutes of his own allotted floor time so that the Democratic squabble could continue, Johnson scoffed...
...Lillias Dulles Hinshaw, wife of a Manhattan publicist and a graduate of Union Theological Seminary, will receive the other half of Janet Dulles' estate, also gets $10,000 outright, plus forgiveness of a mortgage held by her father. Dulles' three sisters are each to get $10,000; William C. Pierce and Henry N. Ess III, his law partners in the Manhattan firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, will get $25,000 each. To his second son, Avery Dulles, went only $5,000, "not because of any lack of affection for him, but because of special circumstances." The circumstances...
