KENNETH DOVER

Sir Kenneth Dover, Chancellor of St. Andrews University, died on Sunday, aged 89. He was considered the finest Greek scholar of his generation. In 1978 he was elected President of the British Academy. In 2004 he presented Bob Dylan with an Honorary Doctorate.

Bob looks a tad wary. I wonder if academia makes him shudder. The thought of being exposed, or perhaps the straitjacket discipline of dogma makes him frown.

Or maybe it's all Greek to him! Either way, good to see him collect his dues. It's kind of like the old world benevolently welcoming the new.

Except maybe it's not!

The look on Bob Dylan's face is just priceless.
