Former guitarist from The Smiths, Johnny Marr has been honored by two universities in as many weeks. Marr's first accolade came at a ceremony at Trinity College in Dublin where, after speaking onstage, he was made an Honorary Patron of the Trinity College Philosophical Society. The current guitarist in Modest Mouse, Marr's award in Dublin places him with the likes of Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, Salman Rushdie and Al Pacino to the honor which rewards "individuals who have excelled in public life and made a worthy contribution to society".
Recently, Marr was made Professor Of Music at Salford University. An induction ceremony will be held tomorrow (October 17).
