Thanks for the gracious words littemanpoet, I too have enjoyed your many rewarding posts.
As for the Doctor of what, well, I would hazard of Literature, but Sub-creation is certainly more specific and acurrate.
I would imagine that his honorary Dr'ate was in linguitics, and I would personally be willing to wager that [properly spoken] Elvish alone might have therapeutic effects similar to the mideaval harp playing used in terminal wards in the US these days.
The very sounds are of a higher order, if you will, than mortal tounges.
So, I think he was in reality a Doctor or Master in several area's at least.
