ANOTHER HONOUR LIST.
(From an Oxford Correspondent.)
The list of the recipients of honorary degrees to be conferred by the University of Cambridge has already been announced. We are glad to be able to supplement it by information, derived from a trustworthy source, of the corresponding intentions of the University of Oxford.
The Oxford list is not yet complete, but the following names and the reasons for which the distinction is to be conferred may be regarded as certain and authentic:—
The Right Hon. Winston Churchill, M.P., for his strenuous efforts to brighten Sunday journalism.
Mr. Augustus John, for unvarnished portraiture and the stoical fortitude exhibited by him in face of the persecution of the Royal Academy.
Mr. Lovat Fraser, for his divine discontent with everything and everybody and his masterly use of italic type.
Lady Cooper, the wife of the Lord Mayor, for conspicuous gallantry in advocating the taxing of cosmetics.
Sir Philip Gibbs, for his generous recognition of the services of British generals during the War, and for promoting cordial relations between all ranks in the Army.
