With regard to your article "Kudos" [TIME, June 28]: you fail to mention the fact that at the June 7 Commencement ceremony celebrating the soth anniversary of Occidental College, located in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, the college's greatest literary son, Robinson Jeffers, '05, was awarded an honorary Litt.D. Born the same year as Occidental (1887), Jeffers took his B.A. there at the age of 18. He also studied medicine at the University of Southern California, forestry at the University of Washington and literature at the University of Zurich. Occidental's is the only honorary degree...

First white invaders of California found huge herds of sea lions on almost every rock. After 1860 the creatures were killed by thousands for their hides and oil. Soon it became unprofitable to hunt them and by the turn of the century they were on the increase again. Fishermen claimed that they ate great quantities of salmon and damaged many nets. Zoologists doubted this. One professor opened a number of sea lion stomachs, found nothing but squid. Fishermen were in the saddle, however, and forced the Fish & Game Commission to start slaughtering. In 1909 some measure of protection was provided...
