First Degree In Philosophy
To Be Awarded This Spring
Texas A&M will confer its
first Bachelor of Arts degree in
philosophy in less than 90 days
— and, most likely, in absentia.
Dr. Manuel M. Davenport, head
of the Philosophy and Humani
ties Department, said William
Christy Reber of Baytown, now
on active duty with the Army,
will be the first Aggie to receive
the degree, approved last fall by
the Texas College and University
System Coordinating Board.
Davenport said Reber, a pre
law student, was unable to com
plete necessary formalities to re
ceive his degree in January.
Desiring his degree in philos
ophy and anxious to be the first
to receive it, Reber agreed to
wait until spring graduation,
Davenport added.
Presently on duty at Fort Bliss,
Reber will be granted his degree
with others in May — if he can
get free long enough from Uncle
Sam. If not, Davenport said,
the degree will be awarded in
