Together with young masters and doctors, as well as jubilee masters and doctors, 13 honorary doctors are conferred in the conferment of the Faculty of Philosophy. These persons, distinguished in their own field of science as well as in culture and society, constitute a central part of the faculty’s conferment ceremony and its history. The first honorary doctors were inaugurated in the university’s 200^th anniversary year in 1840.
