Transcript
 | Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson comes to Williams College for an honorary degree. President John Sawyer escorts the First Lady to the ceremony at Chapin Hall. |
| She took no formal notice of a group of anti-war pickets who staged a silent vigil protesting the Vietnam War. |
| Some seventy-five student demonstrators walked out of the auditorium, where Mrs. Johnson was given an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree for her
national beautification program. |
| Despite the demonstration, the First Lady is warmly applauded. |
