During the last few years he has acted as president of An- dover Seminary. He has been a strong writer on theological subjects. Amherst conferred the degree of D.D. on Pro- fessor Harris in 1883. >.> a Harvard Honorary Degrees. { Worcester Gazette.] Not only does a degree from Harvard mean more than a literary title from most other universities, but the recip- ient must appreciate the discriminating and“ happily-worded compliment that President Eliot always utters in award- ing it.
