My dear Mr. Burbank:
At the request of the editor of the Boston Trans-
cript I wrote a story the other day about Lafayette Park which he printed
1/6/23
in last Saturday's issue. On opening the paper I was delighted to find
another article about you, which delighted Mrs. Gleason and me very much.
To make sure that the paper comes to your attention, I am sending herewith
a copy of that portion of the paper containing the two articles.
That is a most admirable scheme for a memorial of your work
which is planned by your fellow-citizens of Santa Rosa, and I shall watch
its development and final accomplishment with the greatest interest. How
I wish I could be on hand at the dedication of the new park in March! It
will surely be a notable occasion.
Judging from the photographs in the Transcript (which are very
poorly reproduced in both articles) I think that you and Mrs. Burbank must
be in excellent health. I like especially that view in which you appear
with Mr. Paderewski, and I am tempted to inquire where I may get a copy of
the photograph from which I can make a lantern slide for use in my Burbank
lecture. I sincerely hope that your good health will continue, and that
your Golden Jubilee will bring with it the assurance of many years yet to
come of honor and happiness.
Mrs. Gleason and I did not get to California the past summer. I
was called to undertake some special work for the government down on Mt.
Desert Island, and we stayed there for three months. not returning home
until November. We had a wonderfully fine time. Whether or not we shall
go West again next year I cannot now tell.
Please accept our heartiest congratulations and best wishes
both for yourself and "Betty."
Most cordially yours,
Haybert If Eleason

Dear Mr. Dorr:
Henry L. Eno told me some weeks
ago about the proposed transfer of the Marine
Biological Station from Harpswell to Salis-
bury Cove.
It seemed to me a very desir-
able achievement.
Does it not suggest the
completion of the organization of the Wild
Gardens of Acadia and the organization of a
committee to raise an endowment for it? The
sooner it is announced the better.
I hope your health has been
pretty good this winter, and that you are
taking some care of yourself.
Sincerely yours

Honorary Degrees at Harvard
THE conferring of honorary degrees, although certainly one
T
of the less vital activities of universities, is nevertheless one
that attracts a great deal of public notice. There is prob-
ably no other feature of a Harvard Commencement that
arouses so general an interest both within and without the University.
It was not always so. A century ago it was rather the student exer-
cises that attracted the most attention and comment. The distinguished
character of many of the recipients of honorary degrees in recent
years, the secrecy that, as a rule, surrounds their identity before the
ceremony, the fact that they are guests of the University for the occa-
sion, and that from their number will be chosen the principal speakers
at the afternoon exercises, all contribute to the anticipation with which
the ceremony of conferring the honorary degrees is awaited. The
existence of this interest is the chief justification for an article review-
ing the history of such degrees at Harvard.
Honorary degrees are an ancient institution, but one to which the
historians of universities, justifiably concerned with more essential mat-
ters, have devoted little attention. If the time and place of the confer-
ring of the first such degree are known, this information has escaped
the notice of the present writer, whose search has admittedly been far
from exhaustive. Originally degrees were simply licenses to teach a
certain subject or group of subjects, and it must be presumed that some
time elapsed before they were sought by, or deemed appropriate honors
for, persons who had no intention of teaching. Nevertheless there
were those who wished to have the license without the trouble of resid-
ing at a university, and the legitimacy of this desire, in certain cases,
was recognized in the highest quarters. In mediacval Europe the Pope
and the Emperor could, at their discretion, direct that persons not con-
nected with a university be admitted to the examinations for the vari-
ous degrees. In England at the Reformation the Pope's prerogative
passed to the Archbishop of Canterbury. The King also had the right

of eligibility for such awards. So far as the writer can judge, Harvard's
record in this respect has been relatively free from the scandalous prac-
tices that developed, along with the expansion of American higher
education, from the mid-nineteenth century on: the practices, namely,
of conferring honorary degrees on persons whose only qualifications
were wealth or political influence, or of bringing pressure to bear,
through their friends, on the trustees of colleges and universities.
There has been criticism of Harvard's rather numerous awards to busi-
ness men and financiers, including some who had been generous bene-
factors of the University, but it may be confidently asserted that as a
rule the persons concerned have been men of real achievement or serv-
ice to the community. That the University was cognizant of the pres-
sures making for cheap honorary degrees, and desired to tighten its
own requirements, may be seen in its giving up the practice of con-
ferring such degrees in absentia.
Honorary degrees have been condemned on the grounds that they
are useless and misleading and that they lower the value of the earned
degrees. It has been suggested that they should be conferred only on
distinguished scholars, or, better still, that they be abolished alto-
gether.38 The former proposal runs counter to one of the oldest uses
of honorary degrees, namely, to place the university's stamp of ap-
proval on persons of distinction in fields other than the academic. If
the better colleges and universities are, as the writer believes, the insti-
tutions that are most effective in upholding standards of excellence
against the leveling influences in a democracy, honorary degrees are
one means - a minor one, perhaps - by which excellence can be re-
warded, and brought to the attention of a wider public. Nor need it
be worthy laborers in obscure or little-known fields who alone are so
honored and brought to public notice; by judicious selection, among
figures already in the public eye, of the few whose achievements give
promise of being most valuable and enduring, the universities may
help, in a subtle but not negligible way, to make solid worth prevail
over the flashy and meretricious. Fame, 'that last infirmity of noble
mind,' is still one of the greatest of incentives; to many it has come in
no guise more welcome than the public honors of a great university.

[7/28/1923]

Dear Mr. Dorr,
A couple of weeks ago I climbed up Katahdin by way
of Hunt's trail. I have seen the mountain for the past
twenty years but never went up before. Spent the night at
the cave just below timber line. It is a grand place and
I seldom enjoyed a brief outing more.
Moose are certainly on the increase in that whole
region and should never be shot there again. I hear that
there are still some Martin and "fisher" cat in that big
spruce basin called the Klondike of Joe Francis. It would
be a fine thing if we could also save these two beasts,
as otherwise there is no doubt that both will vanish from
Maine within ten to twenty years. That is another good
talking point for a park.
How does the Great Northern stand now? And do you
get any help from Fred Hale?
2.
I am going to write Hale a letter today to see what
he is doing. If I can help out in any little way let me
know. I certainly want to see that place kept intact and
not "noterised". The now road to Sourdnahunk Stream from
Greenville is bad enough. I went out that way.
Sincerely yours,
John C. Phillips.

Dear Sir:
I request that clearance be obtained from the
Federal Real Estate Board for the renewal of the lease
of the property in Bar Harbor used as an office and gen-
eral headquarters of Lafayette National Park.
The main office building is situated on the north-
west corner of Park Road and Main Street, Bar Harbor,
Maine. It is a story and a half building under which is
a commodious cellar used for storage purposes and in which
is located the hot water boiler which furnishes heat for
the building. On the ground floor is a reception room
dark no room?
for visitors, the administrative office room of the Super-
intendent, a hall way, a small room for hanging wraps and
small storage and a room used by the Park Engineer as a
drafting room. On the floor above is a hall way, dress-
ing room, toilet and a spare room used for filing. The
building contains 1944 square feet of floor space, all of
which is in constant use.
At the back of the same lot is located the garage,
tool house and carpenter shop which are to be included in
the lease for the 1924 fiscal year as was the case during
the 1923 fiscal year. These three buildings are essen-
tial to the storage of automobiles and tools belonging to
the Park and the building used as a shop provides oppor-
tunity where the carpenter employed by t he Park can do his
work. The garage contains 432 square feet of floor
space, the tool house contains the same amount and the
carpenter shop contains 455 square feet of floor space.

The Famous Oneidas
Outside of Boston how many know that Gerritt Smith
Miller invented modern football? A historical sketch of
"The Oneida Football Club of Boston" has been deposited
in the archives of the Massachusetts Historical Society.
The author is Winthrop Saltonstall Scudder, one of the original
members of the Club. "Why was it, 11 it has been asked "That
the Oneida Football Club not only never was beaten but that its
goal was never crossed?"
The answer: "It was because 'Gat' Miller and 'Cliff'
Watson sat up nights working out the formations and stratagems
of play on the field. They were pioneers in the art, which
has now become SO complicated and SO popular.
Walter Camp and Parke H. Davis have both testified
that the Oneida of Boston was the first football club ever
organized on a permanent basis. In a letter to Mr. Scudder,
dated April 26, 1926, Mr Davis wrote: "In the deluge which
poured down at the Harvard-Yale game at Cambridge in 1924, the
spectacle of you yourself in a coonskin coat, standing on the
side lines and with your 80 years defying, like Ajax, the rain,
the hail, the thunder and lightning; was the most inspiring sight
I have seen in forty years of football.
Seven members of the Oneida Club, which vanquished all
comers in the sixties, were photographed at the Monument to the
Club erected by the City of Boston in 1925. The names of
those heroes, whose average of years was 80, were: Gerritt
$mith Miller, founder and captain; Edward Lincoln Arnold,
Edward Bowditch, Robert Means Lawrence, James DeWolf Lovett,
Francis Greenwood Peabody, and Winthrop Saltonstall Scudder.

Yet the Boston Daily Advertiser gave only a five-line notice to the
game, which was played on November 7, 1863.
The Oneida was the pioneer of the thousands of clubs
that now attract their millions every autumn throughout the
United States. It was made up from boys of Dixwell's, the
Boston Public Latin and the Boston English High Schools. On
November 7th, 1923, a tablet to honor Captain Miller was dedicated
at the Noble and Greenough School, Dedham. This school is
"a direct descendant" of Dixwell's. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, a pupil
of Mr. Dixwell in 1848-9 spoke at the exercises, and so did
Bishop William Lawrence, a member of the Oneida Football
Club. It also included Henry Cabot Lodge, Arthur Sherburne
Hardy, Henry Parkman, and Roger Walcott.
"Here in the United States, 11 says Mr Scudder, "organized
football was played on Boston Common in 1862 by the Oneida
Club, made up of school boys, seven years before it was
played by Rutgers and Princeton and thirteen years before the
first game between Harvard and Yale. "
The Boston Common brand of football was conducive
to longevity. No sturdier group of old young men than the
seven assembled about the Oneida Football Monument could be
seen the world over.

MONTHLY REPORT
LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK
AUGUST 1923.
The month of August just closed has been one of
the busiest months for Lafayette National Park since it
was established. Although the number of visitors was
about equal to that for August of last year their interest
was greater and the demand upon those connected with the
Park and its work was accordingly increased. It can well
be said that the month, from the Park's standpoint, was
the most successful yet.
Scientific Observations.
The Park has been fortunate this year during
August in having among its visitors some of the foremost
scientists of the country who have been engaged in re-
search work along their several lines.
Dr. Edgar Wherry, a soil expert from the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Chemistry, in Washington,
made a two weeks visit and during his stay he tested many
of the soil beds within the Park to determine their value
2-
in relation to the types of vegetation they support.
The results of his investigations will be made the
subject of a special report to the Park Superintendent
which, when published, will form a valuable addition
to those already in hand.
Prof. Douglass Johnson, of Columbia University,
a geologist recognized as an authority on coast line
formations spent several days studying the present coast
line of Mount Desert Island, as well as the ancient sea
benches and surf-cut cliffs where once the sea broke
against them, but now to be found a half mile or more in-
land from the shore. His findings and observations will
also be made available to those interested in geologic
matters.
Mr. Barrington Moore is continuing his scientific
observations of forest evaporation and each week brings
out some new feature of atmospheric conditions prevailing
in the Park.
The Marine Biological Laboratory established here
through the efforts of the Park Superintendent has had a
most successful season, biologists of note from every part
V
3-
of the country being in attendance at the laboratory
and conducting research work in their several fields.
The laboratory, according to the Director, Dr. Bahlgren
from Princeton University, is now on a firm and perman-
ent foundation and is becoming widely recognized as a
biological laboratory of high order and offering oppor-
tunity to scientists for the study of marine life in all
its forms.
Road Work.
The road work undertaken in the Park last autumn
through private subscription is continuing most satis-
factorily. The first section of the Cadillac Mountain
motor road is now open for motor traffic, the first cars
having been admitted on Sunday, September tenth. This
opening has created a very favorable impression and has
added greatly to the interest taken locally in the develop- -
ment of the Park. Active construction work is now being
carried on on the Bubble Pond section of this road and it
is hoped that work will be continued throughout the
winter, but this depends wholly upon weather conditions.
If weather permits and work is followed throughout the
A
4-
winter both sections will be ready for traffic by
July next.
Path Work.
Much trail clearing and repairing has been ac-
complished during August, about two hundred miles of con-
structed trail having been gone over and put into shape.
Considerable new construction has been undertaken and is
progressing rapidly.
Talks on the Park.
On August 7th, Mr. Hadley, Chief Park Ranger,
attended a luncheon of the Bangor Rotary Club, in Bangor,
Maine, and at the close of the lunch gave a half hour's
talk on Lafayette National Park.
The talk was well re-
ceived and at its close Mr. Hadley answered many questions
relative to the Park and its development.
Later in the month Mr. Herbert W. Gleason, of
Boston, gave a talk to a hundred of the summer residents
of Northeast Harbor at the home of Mrs. G. H. Milliken.
His talk was illustrated with colored slides of scenes
5-
within the Park.
The talk created a very favorable
impression among the summer visitors.
Appalachian Mountain Club.
Two groups of fifty members each camped this
year, as last, at Echo Lake. Each group spent two
weeks and enjoyed themselves to the utmost, covering
practically all of the mountain trails and taking motor
boat excursions on the adjoining ocean. They left
feeling well repaid for their stay and the Club officials
plan a similar excursion for next season.
Leaves of Absence.
There have been no leaves of absence for any
reason granted to any members of the Park force during
the month of August 1923.

Northeast Harbor, Me.,
14 September 1923
My dear Dorr:
Before I built a house in 1881 near Northeast
Harbor, I camped on Calf Island, Frenchman's Bay, for
eight years, and then became very familiar with the shores
of the Bay and all its passages and inlets which were safe
for a good-sized sailing yacht which drew five feet and a
half. I then made the acquaintance of Schoodic Head and
all the approaches to it by land and water. During these
years I repeatedly climbed Schoodic Head, and enjoyed the
wonderful prospects northeasterly by Petit Manan and beyond
towards Grand Manan, southwesterly towards Baker's Island,
the Duck Islands, and Isle au Haut, and due west to the
high hills of Mount Desert Island just across the bay.
These prospects are unique. They are far the finest on
the Atlantic Coast of the United States; and therefore
the Head itself should be preserved in all its own beauty
of geologic structure and forest decoration for the enjoy-
ment of future generations.
This conservation can be best made sure by adding
the Schoodic Peninsula to the Lafayette National Park now
established on Mount Desert Island. It will then come
undu the scientific management of the natural Pad Service.
Sureef yours,

we may,
With song for every moment of the whole bright day;
What's the use of looking gloomy, or what's the use of
our tears,
When we know a mummy's had no fun for more'n three
thousand vears.
No evidence that G. B. Dorrattended.
