This was still practiced in 1914, at a gorgeous ceremony of . conferment of honorary Doctors’ degrees, at which I was present. : On this particular occasion honorary doctorships were conferred upon such celebrities as the late Walter Hines Page, Woodrow Wilson's ambassador to Britain; the late great Viscount Bryce, for many years British ambassador to the United States; the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and Richard Strauss, the famous composer. Oxfords’ celebrated “Sheldonian Theater” was filled with professors and famous visitors, all wearing their festive academic robes. The gallery was jammed with us blackgowned undergraduates, and everybody was waiting for the solemn procession of world celebrities to enter the hall As there was some delay, some {undergraduates used their ancient prerogative of heckling, by shouting down to the professor who was play\ing the organ, to “be human and | play something lively.” The professor promptly entered into the spirit of the joke and‘began playing “Get Out and Get Under,” a ragtime tune which was then widely popular in England.
