Dr. Gary Santry, his full style and title.

Dr. Santry lately made a professor at the Michael Smurfit Business School in U.C.Dublin and having received an award for outstanding service from the college was to the astonishment of all discovered to be entirely bogus and with faked credentials from American schools.

He was an excellent teacher and his colleagues reported only one oddity about him. He insisted on being referred to as Dr. Sanrty which they went along with considering it an eccentric American practice. In Ireland in informal professional settings like the Senior Common Room this is not done. Only medical doctors are given the title Dr. by the general public. There was a minister of health in the government who had a Phd. In Agricultural Science and used the Dr. title promiscuously. Amusing considering that the faculty was known as Bog Science. That was Dr. Michael Woods who was fully qualified to give a kiss of life to a sod of turf.

English Literature is replete with figures who never went to College or had modest degrees. I find a demeaning aspect to honorary degrees unless you actually are allowed to teach at university. Santry was an excellent teacher in an institution dedicated to instruction in the arcana of Business. Should they have given him an honorary degree and let him at it.
