Kudos (Cont'd)

In March the trustees of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Institute of. Technology chose as their next president Robert Ernest Doherty, bald, able Dean of Yale's Engineering School (TIME, March 9). Pittsburgh's eccentric Mayor William Nissley McNair promptly walked out of the trustees' meeting, snorted: "This fellow's a Communist. He's been associated with Steinmetz-- and they're all Communists." The Mayor's characterization needed no further refutation last week when arch-Conservative" University of Pittsburgh invited President elect Doherty to its Commencement exercises, made him an honorary LL.D. Also honored by Pitt, with an L.H.D., was Editor Douglas Southall Freeman of the Richmond, Va. News Leader, author of last year's Pulitzer Prizewinning biography Robert E. Lee.
