Will Hutchins, Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Will Hutchins went to New Haven Wednesday to receive the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts at the commencement exercises of Yale university. This degree is given to one person every year, usually a graduate of Yale, who has achieved distinction in the fine arts. The degree was conferred on Mr. Hutchins by President Hadley, and many friends will be glad that his unusual gifts win this recognition.
