MR MELLON HONOURED
HONORARY DEGREE AT CAMBRIDGE. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, June 23. Mr A. W. Mellon, Secretary of the United States Treasury, who visited Cambridge to see his son to-day receive his degree as a Bachelor of Arts, was himself the recipient of a distinction. The intention of the University to confer upon him the honorary degree of a Doctor of Law was not generally known and he received loud applause when, wearing the scarlet robe, he was presented to the Vice-Chancellor by the Public Orator, who in a laudatory speech in Latin coupled Mr Mellon’s visit to England with President Hoover’s recent pronouncement.
