men for the honorary degree Doctor of Laws, and the University Faculty had
concurred in the recommendation.  He read the list of six distinguished men
recommended and gave a brief citation concerning each recommended recipient.
Upon recommendation of the Graduate Faculty and concurrence of the University
Faculty, the President recommended the honorary degrees and requested that
the names of the recipients be withheld from the minutes of this meeting of
the Board of Trustees and be inserted in the minutes of the Executive Committee
at its meeting in May, 1953. He stated that this delay in recording the names
was necessary in order that notification be made to the recipients and their
acceptances received before publicity is given.

    Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the recommendation of the
President was concurred in by the Board of Trustees, and the Secretary was
authorized to withhold the names of the recipients from the current minutes and
insert same in the minutes of the Executive Committee at their meeting in May.
