You don’t need to go to school to get a degree at Yale. You just need to be a Beatle.

Sir Paul McCartney received an honourary doctorate of music from the University on Monday.

McCartney was present, wearing a sash and all, and was serenaded with “Hey Jude” as he received the honour.

“You have played every chord, touched every emotion, here, there, and everywhere,” said Yale president Richard Levin. “You have pushed the boundaries of the familiar to create new classic.”
