So I'm failing to find a reference on this, but the way I heard the story, when we wanted to get some college action going in the Americas…
…Harvard or William & Mary or some damn thing gave their chancellor an honorary doctorate, which he then used to grant regular doctorates.

Which would mean that basically the entire American system of higher education rests on the foundation of an honorary doctorate.

Anybody else remember this tale? Anyone got a source for it?
