British writer
Chapter 76 Roll Up!
ox!
Tianjin!
big!
study!
The whole room was silent.
Lu Shi was also a little dazed. He stood there for half a second before he realized that he made way for him and said, "Mr. West, please."
West saluted Lu Shi again in a gentlemanly manner, and then entered the room.
His eyes rested on Felice for a while,
"Princess Anne?"
Phyllis nodded cautiously,
"Hello, sir."
West knew that Lu Shi was the playwright Lu who created "Roman Holiday", so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the heroine Phyllis appearing in Brear Road, so he didn't ask more questions out of curiosity.
He put his hat on, took off his gloves, and sat down gracefully.
Lu Shi coughed lightly,
"Mr. West, you just said...a degree?"
West smiled and replied: "Mr. Lu appreciates Mr. Wilde's works and is also his close friend. He should know that he graduated from Magdalen College, Oxford. Then, how much does Mr. Lu know about Magdalen College?"
Lu Shi didn't know much about it.
In addition to Wilde, he only knew that Edward VIII, the second king of the Windsor dynasty, studied at Magdalen College,
But Edward VIII became king in January 1936,
This matter is definitely not nonsense.
Lu Shi remained silent.
West also does not expect a Chinese who has traveled across the ocean to know more about the history of Oxford and help him out: "Magdalen College is a glorious college with many famous people. A romantic person like Mr. Lu can definitely get an honorary degree. "
It's fairly common to award degrees to outsiders,
For example, Mo Yan, after winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, was awarded the title of Honorary Fellow by Regent's Park College, Oxford University, and announced the establishment of an international writing center named after Mo Yan.
Mr. Mo is directly an academician, while Lu Shi is just an honorary degree.
The two are insignificant.
West dusted off his coat in a leisurely manner, and waited quietly,
He believes that no one can refuse the olive branch offered by Oxford University.
However, to his surprise, Lu Shi still didn't speak.
The room was unusually quiet, except for the faint sound of breathing, and the sound of "snoring and snoring" from my generation, which seemed a little ear-piercing.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Time passed slowly.
West didn't expect this kind of development, so he couldn't sit still, and said: "Mr. Lu, why hesitate? Could it be...ah, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I am the vice president of Oxford University. The invitation is Effective."
Similar to the University of London, Oxford University consists of more than forty autonomous colleges.
The five Vice-Chancellors head the central administration.
The power in West's hands must be enough.
Lu Shi repeatedly waved his hands,
"Mr. West misunderstood. You know, I am currently a guest speaker in London politics and economics. It is not appropriate to promise you like this."
His heart is like a mirror,
Oxford University will award itself an honorary degree simply because of those works,
Humanities and Social Science popular science works "Guns, Germs and Steel\
,"Novel "None Survived"
The poems "One Generation", "Answer\
,"Drama "Yes! Prime Minister, Roman Holiday.
In anyone's eyes, Lu Shi is undoubtedly an all-rounder and geek in literature, and he is so prolific, which is rare in the world.
In addition, Lu Shi also has a layer of buff——
birth.
He is awesome because he is Chinese.
A Chinese, writing in English, is there anything crazier than that?
That's why Oxford University wants to award Lu Shi an honorary degree.
Once successful, when editing Wikipedia or Baidu Encyclopedia in the future, Lu Shi's name will appear in the honorary alumni column, which is a great honor.
This abacus was done, and the beads almost stretched to the face.
Lu Shi was not disgusted with this kind of exchange of interests, but he was already in London Political and Economics, and Bernard Shaw was kind to him, so it was impossible for him to do something that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han.
Taking a step back, University College London and London Political Science and Economics of the University of London Alliance will be among the G5 in the future, which is not bad.
West did not expect to be declined,
He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Lu, LSE has only been established for the fifth year, and it has just merged into the University of London Union, and has not even issued an undergraduate degree. Why do you have to be desperate?"
Lu Shi lowered his head, thinking about what to say.
In the end, before he could speak, there was a sudden knock on the door of Braiya Road.
Natsume Soseki was surprised,
"Today is the third time."
He went to open the door, and soon another old gentleman was ushered in.
West's pupils shrank, and he stood up to greet him: "Duke Devonshire, why are you here?"
The Duke of Devonshire was obviously taken aback when he saw West, then nodded slightly in Lu Shi's direction, and said, "I'm here to visit Mr. Lu."
Then, when he turned to Lu,
"Mr. Lu, hello, I'm Spencer Cavendish, Chancellor of Cambridge University. I heard that your purpose of coming to London is to study abroad, but you don't have a school or college yet..."
Oxford is not over yet,
Another Cambridge.
And this beginning is exactly the same as that of West, wouldn't Lu Shi also be awarded an honorary degree?
Everyone in the room couldn't help holding their breath.
Unexpectedly, what Cavendish said next shocked everyone,
He said: "Our Walson College in Cambridge can award Mr. Lu the title of Honorary Fellow. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?"
As soon as this remark came out, West couldn't sit still.
"academician!?"
Cavendish smiled and nodded,
"Yes, academician."
In fact, he was going to confer an honorary degree on Lu Shi, but seeing West was present, he knew that he was one step behind, so he immediately increased the price and promised Lu Shi an honorary academician title.
Anyway, the literariness, innovation, and influence of Lu Shi's works are definitely enough to qualify.
West's face was a little ugly,
An Oxford degree is certainly impressive, but it cannot be compared with an academician from Cambridge.
He gritted his teeth and said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, we can also..."
He was interrupted by Cavendish in the middle of his speech: "Mr. West, you'd better not make false promises. Don't forget, your authority is not top-notch."
For the vast majority of British universities, the chancellor is an almost "nominal" figure, not involved in day-to-day operations,
Therefore, the real power is often in the hands of the vice-principal.
The same is true for the University of London Union, Oxford, and Cambridge.
However, the title of honorary academician is very important. It is equivalent to being guaranteed by the school to provide a scholar with credibility and scientific research endorsement. Therefore, it needs to be nominated by the school supervisor or multiple directors, and then voted by the graduate committee.
In the current situation, West can't make any promises to Lu Shi.
With a gloomy face, he said, "Mr. Lu, I can discuss the honorary academician with the school supervisor. Don't worry, he will definitely agree, and will also allow you to give a guest lecture in Oxford."
Added code again,
In addition to honorary fellowships, there are also guest lectures.
In short, Lu Shi cannot be allowed to defect to Cambridge.
Cavendish snorted coldly,
"Guest lecture? We Walson College will offer writing and translation classes recently, and Mr. Lu can just flex his muscles."
Upgrade directly from lectures to lectures,
Oxford University and Cambridge University are actually rolled up because of Lu Shi!
