Krug, a_member of the Gallaudet faculty, and Dr. Thomas | Francis Fox. graduate of the institution and head of the New York Institution for the Draf. Characterizing Gallaudet as “repre- sentative of the hearts of men as well | as their intelligence,” Secretary Wilbur declared that even those individuals who consider themselves “hard-boiled” are adcpting a new viewpoint and are coming to realize that such institutions afe of inestimable benefit to society.

He was followed by Dr. Fox, who de- scribed Dr. Gallaudet's work for the college bearing his name. The $50,000 fund, which was raised over a period of many years, was pre- sented to Dr. Hall by Prof. Harley Drake, a member of the faculty and chairman of the committee in charge of the fund. Interpreted for Deaf. After acknowl>dging the gift, Dr. Hall conferred an honorary degree of doctor of humane letters upon Dr. Knight Dunlap of Johns Hopkins Uni- | versity, Baltimore, in recognition of his | work in behalf of the deaf. One of the features of the affair, which marked the birthday of Dr. Gal- laudet, who was president of the insti- tution for 46 years, was the interpreta- tion of the various spesches in the sign language. Two members of the senior class, Miss Josephine Beesley and Chester Dobson, placed a wreath upon a bust of Dr. Gallaudet, following which the program was concluded with a benediction by Rev. Herbert D. Gallaudet, son of the founder of the college. HEBREW CONGREGATION TO MARK 75TH YEAR| Friday Night Observance Also to Honor Dr. Simon, Rabbi, on 27th Anniversary.
