Harvard Overseers Refuse LL D for Governor Butler
Harvard College's Board of Overseers, after four hours of debate, voted 15 to 5 not to confer the LL D on Governor Butler. They argued the honor should reflect the individual, not his office, and that Butler's actions harmed the Commonwealth. Butler decried the move as political, praising the college for taking a stand while predicting political repercussions for Harvard.
