Honoris causa — or call me doctor

Abstract

Sir Isaac Wolfson is the first man since Jesus Christ to have a college named after him at both Oxford and Cambridge. Sir Isaac has also collected a string of honorary doctorates. Universities conferring doctorates upon him include Oxford, London (1958), Glasgow (1963), Cambridge (1966), Manchester (1967), Strathclyde (1970), and Nottingham (1971). A pretty impressive list, but numerically insignificant when put against that of, say, a former U.S. President, Herbert Hoover. He collected eighty honorary degrees.
