Sinossi
Excerpt from The Clark Prize Book: Containing an Account of the Foundation and History of the Prize, the Successful Orations, and a Complete List of Subjects and Competitors
Serious disturbances were not improbable. To hold efficiently the reins of power required a steady hand. Our College Board of Trust honored itself, when in 1838 the Board conferred upon the Mayor of New York the degree of Master of Arts. Although he was a graduate of Union College, per haps his early attachment to Hamilton Oneida Academy might have made him prefer to accept his second degree from Hamilton College. _in later years, when honorary degrees are conferred more freely, he might have been madea Doctor of Laws. However this may be, it is pleasant to know that his name will be borne upon our roll of honor for ever.
