When I was but a wee lad and a choirboy at Newcastle cathedral, one of the clergy there was a canon Ball. I suppose he was lucky his surname wasn't Fodder...
The point about professors upthread is valid; Here in the UK, professor is an title awarded by a university to senior academics on staff as a sign of their eminence in the field. This means that they get to wear even sillier robes and hats than most staff (who mostly have doctorates) for formal occasions. Normal academic staff are just plain lecturers, researchers, senior lecturers, senoir researchers, or even readers (dizzy heights indeed!).
