Mr. President:
I have the honor to present for the degree of Doctor of Laws a graduate of Knox College of the class of 1907 and a descendant of pioneer founders of Knox College and Galesburg. His work at Knox College was followed by graduate and professional studies leading to the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Illinois and to that of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin. His promise of unusual ability in public affairs as a graduate student has been confirmed by his subsequent successes in this field. He is a power in the civil life of Cincinnati and of the great state of Ohio. As an educator, eh is a significant figure in Political Science. He brought honor to his Alma Mater and to the founders, his forebears whom we are honoring today. It is my pleasure to present Selden Gale Lowrie.
