學位是如何泛濫的
Woodrow Wilson disapproved very strongly of indiscriminate(無差別的) 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·威爾遜當普凌斯頓大學的校長時，強烈反對隨便給人授予榮譽學位。
他說：“我們的大學最近才懂得授予授予榮譽學位要慎重，以前卻是很隨便的。我曾遇見一個很粗魯?shù)娜耍腥齻€這樣的學位，可是他的言談舉止很不文明。”
我問一個熟人為什么這個人能得到三個榮譽學位，他說：“授予他第三個學位是因為他已有了兩個，給他第二個是因為他已有了一個，而給他第一個則是因為他沒有學位。”
