June 1868

The Faculty resolved that the following gentlemen, members of the Senior Class of 1867 & 8, be recommended to the Board of Trustees to receive the first degree in the Arts, viz Biggs, Burdett, Denny, Evans, McAfee, McKee, Walker, Young, and Boyle. Mr. McAfee's average grade of scholarship being the highest, the first honor was allotted to him. The average grade of the remainder of the class being founded far below his, and being equal with each other, it was not deemed advisable to assign a Second Honor.
