Then he received a 2nd doctorate from Kyoto University which is not considered honorary though there is no evidence that he wrote a thesis for it Then John Hopkins, Brown, and Haverford would bring the total number of degrees to 6, leaving the UC honorary degree claimed in 2 of the published books that I have here unsolved. | |

| Nov 4, 2014 at 12:11 | comment | added | seijitsu | I am looking at chronologies published within 7 different books checked out from the Hokkaido University library, as well as timelines found on websites. None of the Japanese books give any citations for the content of the chronologies. Two of the books feature the UC honorary degree, none include the Geneva one (I found that on a university library website: lib.kobe-u.ac.jp/das/jsp/ja/…) but English-language academic journal articles agree that he received a total of 5 honorary degrees in his lifetime. | |
