The Kansas City Journal Nr. 66 (Missouri) bringt auf S. 3 die Anekdote von Bruckners Verhalten bei der Verleihung des Ehrendoktorats (am 7.11.1891):
"     The Viennese composer Bruckner, who died a few months ago, was noted for his bashfulness. It is related that when the University of Vienna made him an honorary doctor, he got up after receiving his diploma to make a few remarks. But the words stuck in his throat, and he could not utter two coherent sentences. Finally he exclaimed, "If I only had my organ here, I would know how to express myself," and sat down." (°).
