As my first PhD student, Gillian Weatherley, has her doctoral defense on Wednesday, I thought Id dig a little into the PhD apostolic succession. Gillians doctorate was supervised by me, my PhD supervisor was Richard Maber (Durham), his DPhil supervisor was Richard Sayce (Oxford), whose doctoral supervisor was Gustave Rudler (Oxford), who in turn was supervised by Gustave Lanson (Sorbonne, Columbia, ENS). Lanson was hated by Jean-Paul Sartre, which makes one rather warm to him. Aside from me, this is a glittering doctoral succession!
