From and after July 20, 1900, all colleges, universities or other institutions of learning, their successors and assigns, to which had theretofore been granted the right to confer literary honors, degrees, or diplomas (such as are usually conferred by colleges and universities) of an academic character, shall continue to enjoy such right, regardless of limitation of time placed upon the exercise thereof by the legislative act granting the same.
