PRINCETON HONORS THREE
Three Episcopalians--a bishop, a priest, and a layman--received honorary degrees June 18 at the 216th annual commencement exercises of Princeton University.
Presiding Bishop Lichtenberger was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree while the Rev. Dr. John D. Verdery, headmaster of Wooster School, Danbury, Conn., received a Doctor of Letters degree. Thurgood Marshall, Federal Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, was presented a Doctor of Laws degree.
The degrees were conferred by Princeton University President Robert F. Goheen, following citations read by James F. Oates, Jr., charter trustee and university orator.
