20 Feb. ’24.
Dear Dr. McKerrow,
Many thanks for your kind letter. I trust you did not think my remarks out of place.
I am afraid the special ways of this university in regard to ex-professors make the business of naming them in public rather needlessly complex. A distinction is drawn between ‘emeritus’, which here is given to everyone who has vacated his chair without proceeding to any other, and ‘Honorary’, which is awarded more rarely, under special circumstances. My strict title is ‘Honorary Professor in the University of M/c’.
With best wishes for the success of the Review
Yours vy truly
C H Herford
