Abstract :
Incidental to its centenary ceremonies, the University of Louvain conferred upon Alfred D. Flinn, Director of Engineering Foundation, the honorary degree of Doctor of Science. So special a dispensation of the Academic Council is noteworthy as an expression of good will from this ancient university to the engineers of the United States. Doctor Edward Dean Adams received the diploma for Mr. Flinn, whose work for Engineering Foundation necessitated a visit to the Pacific Coast at this time.
