Local students receive degrees

Manchester College celebrated its 95th commencement exercises Sunday, May 20, with 236 students receiving associate, bachelor’s or master’s degrees during the ceremony. United States Senator Mark O. Hatfield of Oregon, recipient of an honorary doctor of laws degree, delivered the 1984 commencement address. The senator spoke of living in a world on the edge of an abyss with humanity stealing “God’s stuff” and destroying, rather than improving, itself. He challenged the graduating class to ask questions of what is being done with resources in relation to what is happening scientifically and humanly in the world. Manchester College also conferred the honorary doctor of divinity degree upon 1929 Manchester graduate John Eberly, a retired Church of the Brethren minister and former director of New Windsor, Md., exchange work center.
