Twain aged 72, in the robes of Oxford, where he receivedan Honorary Doctor of Literature degree in 1907.Churchill aged 69, in the robes of Harvard, where hereceived an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree in 1943.WHEN THE TWAIN MET...In truth, both Churchill and Twain had much more incommon in their world view than they realized duringtheir brief, awkward encounter. Perhaps if they wereboth in the twilight of their careers at the time they met,and had enjoyed a talk late into the evening (among thefavorite pastimes of both), they might have becomefriends rather than passing acquaintances.And that would have been just fine with MarkTwain. At the Pilgrims Society in London, one of themany receptions that marked his final visit to England in1907, he said: “…praise is well, compliment is well, butaffection—that is the last and final and most precious rewardthat any man can win.” 22Winston Churchill would have liked that. ,Endnotes1.
