My Lord Chancellor,
It is my prerogative, unhappy only that its compass must be brief, to present to you five men who severally are
linked to yourself by ties of Art, Authorship, Industry, Endowment and Statecraft, and universally by the greater tie
of Friendship, that it may please you and this University body to admit them to Honorary Degrees in this University
and bind them thereby to us as corporate Members and beloved Alumni.
CONVOCATION, OCTOBER, 1961
JOHN DAVID JOHNSON
to be Doctor of Laws
who is bonded to our Chancellor by Canada Cement, and to us by the warmer and more flexible tie of Maritime birth.
From:
Cattley, Robert E.D. Honoris causa: the effervescences of a university orator. Fredericton: UNB Associated Alumnae, 1968.
