Boston, June 15—Eleven hundred degrees were awarded today by Boston University at its 52nd annual commencement. Among the recipients was Guy Hamilton of Atlantic, N.C., who was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Sacred Theology from the university School of Theology.
Today’s exercises, at 10:30 filled Symphony hall to overflowing with relatives and friends, and the brightly colored hoods worn by candidates for the higher degrees and by faculty members made a colorful scene. An academic procession preceded the ceremonies. No honorary degrees were given.
President James Lukens McConaughy of Wesleyan university gave the commencement address. Bishop William F. Anderson, acting president of the university, presented the diplomas.
