收到院长寄给所有职员的电邮,两位副院长新受聘为正教授,同时授予荣誉硕士学位,这小小的硕士学位对于大教授来说有意义吗?中土的大学怎么就没这招?

Customary degrees (Ad eundem degrees)
Some universities and colleges also have the custom of awarding a master's degree to every scholar it appoints as a full professor who had never earned a degree there. At the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge many senior staff are granted the degree of Master of Arts after three years of service, and at Amherst College all tenured professors are awarded a Master of Arts degree at academic convocation in the autumn even though the school only offers an earned Bachelor of Arts degree (Amherst awards honorary doctorates at commencement in the spring to notable scholars and other special invitees). Brown University also awards tenured faculty, who do not have a Brown degree, the A. M. ad eundem.
