Kudos

Because Crooner Rudy Vallee, interrupted by stage and radio concerts, never managed to finish the course he enrolled in four years ago at Boston's Suffolk School of Law, Suffolk last week made Crooner Vallee an honorary Master of Arts at a special presentation. Beamed Suffolk's Dean Gleason Archer: "Rudy will finish his course sometime and go into politics." Next year, elaborated Dean Archer, Crooner Vallee would not only continue his studies but teach radio showmanship, head a new department of radio broadcasting.
