Condie, was granted an honorary degree, "Doctor of Fine Arts. The citation paid tribute both to Mr. Condie, as a man and as a musician, and to the Tabernacle Choir for the inspiration both have brought to millions of listeners. In part, the citation read: In an era marked by cynicism and violence, we of Utah State University take special joy in a man and an organization that have helped mightily to make Utah a source of inspirational strength and hope. We salute Richard P. Condie as a man of splendid personal qualities and also as a conductor of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir which has exerted world wide influence for many decndes.

"However, in honoring Richard P. Condie and the Choir he directs, we acknowledge that a universal creative spirit surges up in every heart; that although misguided men can corrupt or pervert this energy toward destructiveness, Mr. Condie and the Choir help powerfully to nurture and discipline this spirit. They join In the music of the spheres to voice highest yearnings of great composers and singers greatly led, to aid countless persons of all faiths toward harmony and Christian love. all-wi- "Mr. Condie has long contributed to international music culture as soloist in opera, concert, and Choir.

We are honored in recommending you for the honorary 'Doctor of Fine Arts. Dr. Alexander Schreiner, Tabernacle organist, was accompanist, and Elder Richard L.
