At Oxford, the degree of Doctor of Civil Law by Diploma is customarily conferred on foreign Heads of State, as well as on the Chancellor of the University. (The British Sovereign is unable to receive university degrees, since these would, theoretically, place her under the jurisdiction of the Chancellor of the university. Prior to her accession, the present Queen did accept several honorary degrees, including an Oxford DCL in 1948). (See 'Honorary Degrees', in Ronald Allison and Sarah Riddell, eds., ''The Royal Encyclopedia'' (London; Basingstoke: Macmillan, 1991), p. 264). SEE ALSO |
