A list of every Harvard degree, beginning with Benjamin Woodbridge in 1642. Of particular interest is the Honorary Degree issued to Benjamin Franklin in 1753, the first such degree issued by Harvard. The next (also listed here) was to George Washington in 1776. Also included here are John Adams, John Hancock and LaFayette. A wonderful and scarce 18th century imprint.
