學(xué)位是如何泛濫的
Woodrow Wilson disapproved very strongly of indiscriminate(無(wú)差別的) giving of honorary degrees when he was president of Princeton University.
He said, "Our universities have learned recently to give honorary degrees carefully. But in the past it was very promiscuous(混雜的). I had met a n uncouth(笨拙的) person who had three degrees, but then he spoke and behaved very rudely."
I asked an acquaintance why it was. He said, "Well, the third was given because he had had two. He was given the second because he had had one, and he was given the first because he had gone."
伍德羅·威爾遜當(dāng)普凌斯頓大學(xué)的校長(zhǎng)時(shí),強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)隨便給人授予榮譽(yù)學(xué)位。
他說(shuō):“我們的大學(xué)最近才懂得授予授予榮譽(yù)學(xué)位要慎重,以前卻是很隨便的。我曾遇見(jiàn)一個(gè)很粗魯?shù)娜?,他有三個(gè)這樣的學(xué)位,可是他的言談舉止很不文明?!?/p>
我問(wèn)一個(gè)熟人為什么這個(gè)人能得到三個(gè)榮譽(yù)學(xué)位,他說(shuō):“授予他第三個(gè)學(xué)位是因?yàn)樗延辛藘蓚€(gè),給他第二個(gè)是因?yàn)樗延辛艘粋€(gè),而給他第一個(gè)則是因?yàn)樗麤](méi)有學(xué)位?!?/p>
