The London Institute for Applied Research was co-founded by OG distance education guide writer John Bear in the late 60s or early 70s. (It was a different time, lots of crazy stuff went on, etc.) As a fundraising promotion it offered honorary doctorates for $100. Ads stated the degrees had "no legitimacy in the academic world."
