Education: Kudos Jul. 2, 1934

• Share

Secretary of State Cordell Hull made a strong start but he lacked staying power. Thundering down the home stretch of 1934's Open Kudos Championship last week, a professional breasted the tape a clean winner. He was Harvard's lean, long-legged, new President James Bryant Conant, recipient this season of seven honorary degrees. Two strides behind was Amateur Hull, with five degrees. A brilliant finishing sprint put Tyler Dennett, president-elect of Williams, in a triple tie for third place with Secretary of the Interior Harold LeClair Ickes and Princeton's new President Harold Wrillis Dodds, each with four degrees.
