The greatest university in the world finally gets recognition in American news for granting Bob Dylan an honorary doctorate, of all things. It's only the second honorary degree he's accepted, the other being from Princeton (one of those newfangled schools here in the New World). Nonetheless, there's Sir Ken capping the new Dr. Dylan and Jim Douglas, one of the nicest people I've met, about to give him his doctoral hood. Huzzah for St Andrews. And huzzah for Dr. Bob Dylan, even though I don't like his music. Here is the AP's take on events.
