PhDs only were adopted universally in 1917 with some resistance and apprehension.

The issue here is that academia forgot what it was about a long time ago and is now having to face the consequences for a hundred years of bad decisions.

In Oxford. That hardly counts as universal.

You’re right, maybe roughly circa 1930 across internationally recognized research universities? For some reason I thought Oxford was the holdout.
