President Harris of Amherst.
Rev. Dr. George Harris, Professor of
Theology in Andover Seminary, An-
dover, Mass., was recently elected to
the presidency of Amherst College.
Dr. Harris was born at East Machias,
Me., April 1, 1844, and graduated from
Amherst in 1866. Three vears later he
graduated from the Andover Theologi-
cal Seminary and after preaching a few
years in Auburn, Me.,-he accepted a call
to the Central Congregational Church -
of Providence, R. I. In 1883 he was
made Abbot Professor of Theology in
the Andover Seminary and continued in
that place up to the end of the college
year just closed. 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.

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. People who attend Harvard
commencements now anticipate these
terse. introductions as the awards are
made. The characterizations this week
were felicitous as the following instance
shows:
