COMMEMORATION DAY AT

GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.
ORATION ON A GREAT SCOTTISH ENGINEER.
BLIND AND DEAF AUTHORESS HONOURED.
GLASGOW, June 10
Traditional ceremonial marked the biennial celebration of Com- memoration Day yesterday at the University of Glasgow. Wide- famed names were included in the list of, honorary graduands.
The ceremony was invested with unusual interest by the con- ferment of the degree of LL.D. on Miss Helen Keller, the blind and deaf American authoreys. Sir James B. Henderson, who also received the degree of LL.D., delivered an oration on William. John Macquora Rankine, who was Professor of Engineering at the University from 1855 to 1872.
Miss Keller, in her speech at the luncheon, said the honour which had been conferred upon her began a happy chapter in the history of the handicapped, for it embraced them as co-workers in the world of living men and women.
Sir Alfred Ewing, remarking on the state of world depres sion which, he said, had been brought about in some degree by the industrial revolution, stated it was quite possible that the na- - tions might yet realise that, to some extent, they had taken the wrong turning. It was impossible not to recognise that the world, while it owed much to engineers, had not received from them an unmixed blessing, and that its salvation had still to be worked out.
