  • Degrees of Influence: the Politics of Honorary Degrees in the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, 1900–2000
    Minerva (2007) 45:389–416 Ó Springer 2007 DOI 10.1007/s11024-007-9065-8 MICHAEL HEFFERNAN and HEIKE JO¨ NS DEGREES OF INFLUENCE: THE POLITICS OF HONORARY DEGREES IN THE UNIVERSITIES OF OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE, 1900–2000 ABSTRACT. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge had developed different attitudes towards the award of honorary degrees through the early and middle decades of the twentieth century. Recently, both have adopted a similar cautious and apolitical stance. This essay describes the role of honorary degrees in the production and reproduction of their cultural and intellectual authority of these two ancient universities. INTRODUCTION This paper offers the first systematic analysis of the politics of hon- orary degree conferment in Britain, drawing on the experiences of Oxford and Cambridge universities.1 As medieval foundations with collegiate structures, Oxford and Cambridge stand apart from the other English universities, most of which received university status in the twentieth century.2 The term ÔOxbridge’, coined in 1849 by William Thackeray, perfectly encapsulates the mystique of these institutions. Their aura of Ôeffortless superiority’, artfully cultivated in countless novels and films, has been sustained by an intense riv- alry that permeates laboratory and library alike. Oxford and Cam- bridge have reputations for world-class research and teaching, an excellence regularly affirmed in Ôleague tables’ that purport to mea- sure university performance. The fact that Oxford and Cambridge 1 There is little serious research on honorary degrees. See, however, Brian Ward, ÔA King in Newcastle: Martin Luther King Jr. and British Race Relations, 1967–1968’, Georgia Historical Quarterly, 79 (3), (1995), 599–632; Hsueh Yeh, ÔÔHe Sees the Development of Children’s Con- cepts upon a Background of Sociology’: Jean Piaget’s Honorary Degree at Harvard University in 1936’, History of Psychology, 7 (1), (2004), 20–44, and Forrest H.

We have maintained our critical research capacity, and significantly enhanced our use of remote education and online teaching. The collegiate University has provided accommodation for key workers and deployed critical equipment to help national testing efforts. Cambridge scientists have offered valuable expertise to help the public – and the government – better understand the disease. The recovery process will be long, and we must be prepared for future contingencies. Our community’s collective response to the crisis gives me great confidence that we will be able to face such contingencies with a strengthened sense of purpose.
