Louis read and defended his essays on August 23, 1847, and although they were not enthusiastically received by the judges, yet he was successful in his presentation. But the doctor s degree was only a milepost at which Louis Pasteur did not pause. He had had a letter from his father saying: "We cannot judge of your essays, but our satisfaction is no less great. As to a doctor s degree, I was far from hoping as much; all my ambition was satisfied with the license to teach."
