But last week it had news too good to keep. President Roosevelt had consented to come up. accept an LL. D. He will be the ninth actual or future U. S. President to receive Yale's kudos. George Washington got his degree while in office, by letter. William McKinley. also in office, accepted by telegram. William Howard Taft was a Federal judge when he was honored in 1893. President Theodore Roosevelt and Professor Woodrow Wilson of Princeton got their degrees at the same commencement, in 1901. Last to be kudized was U. S. Food Administrator Herbert Hoover in 1918.
