My Dear Chancellor Avery:
,n the first Place
In the first place I wish to assure
you that I shall value the nonary de-
i gree from the University of Nebraska,
given under these circumstances, more
tnan any degree I have received from
any university at home or abroad,
Your giving me the degree is a recog-
nition that the university authorities
an(j are trying to stand shoulder to
shoulder for great prnciples at a time
when those principles are menaced,
Under these circumstances I value the
degree even more tnan i ao tne ae-
grees I received from Oxford and Cam
bridge, Sorbonne, Leipzig and Berlin.
I shall reach Lincoln at 8:40 a. m. on
the 14th and leave Lincoln at 11:30 p.
m. that evening, and am at your dis
position throughout my stay.
Faithfully yours,
