To the Editor, European Edition:- May I draw your attention to the fact that under the Exposition awards to Americans published today my name as recipient of a diploma of honor was erroneously printed? Under sculpture my name appears as Chaplin rather than Cornelia Van A. Chapin. I would appreciate a correction of this error, for while Charlot's name is better known-our arts are not the same! CORNELIA VAN A. CHAPIN. HONORS AND AWARDS MRS. EDWARD MACDOWELL received an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters at the seventeenth annual commencement of the New Jersey College for Women on June 4.
