I guess that makes sense, since degrees are earned from "study" as

What about us guys with hundreds of hours flying the rotary? Tenured
professors?

Paul Lamar replied:

Yes.  A different certificate for over 500 hours.

Alfonso offered:

Professor emeritus.

Eh?  I don't think so. "Emeritus" (in this context) means "retired from
active service but retaining rank or title."  Presumably those still
flying rotaries (or who flew 500+ hours with one) are still advocates
for the rotary, and are therefore still "professors".

Perhaps "Professor suprema" ("highest professor") or "Professor
perpetua" ("perpetual professor").
