There was an accident to an auto-
mobile being driven from Compo
toward lVestport early this morning.
The driver. instead of using the road.
was following the trolley tracks. and
in crossing the bridge by the Minute
Man statue. became wedged between
the tracks and the end of the ties.
The Compo Beach car was held up
until a. wrecker from. the VVestside
garage could be sent for to lift the
automobile from the track. The name
of automobile and drixcr could not be
learned.

Harvard’s Highest Degree
Given to General Who
Drove Out British
THE colonists had known any-
thing of free verse. radio. stunt
flying or esthetic dancing. it is
likely some savant would discover
that George Washingtop had been
an adept at all of 'them.
He has been proclaimed a gen.
ersJ. diplomat, statesman, farmer
and man of le‘ters. This year.
in the American’ Mutual Home
for February, published at Boston.
Carl Holllday. professor of Amer
ican Literature at the University
of Toledo. tells of “When Wash-
ington Became s. Doctor." ,
The time was April 3, 1776. The
place was Concord. Mass. The oc-
casion was the annual commence-
ment of Harvard University. then
a. college and temporarily moved
from Cambridgu in Concord. The
reason, prophetic of similar awards
following the late war. was the
University’s gratitude for Doctor
Washington's having. the preced-
ing month. compelled the British
to evacuate Boston and Cam-
, bridge. The doaorate itself was
that of lam, “the law of Nature
and Nations, and the Civil Law.”
One Predecessor
The degree had been bestowed
but once. It was given then to
John Winthrop, one of the most
profound students in America.
Washington. Doctor Holiiday
states, was “totally innocent of
any ‘higher learning!" but the
University authorities had conclud-
ed possession of his qualities of
leadership and their exercise were
at the time far greater wisdom
than an ability to construct “pars-
tdigms of nouns in the Greek
.‘tonguel' They were prompt in
ldemonstrating their belief.
