Abstract

The Graduation ceremony held on the 4th October was marked with great enthusiasm on the part of the student- body. Students from all the academical courses assembled in great numbers to greet Professor J. Manche B. Sc., M.D., on the day of his assumption of the Vice-Chancellorship of our Alma Mater. It was too evident that the appointment of the new Rector Magnificus had inspired the academic and student body with full confidence and hope for the future of our Univerisity. The hopes of University students are certainly not 'unfounded, for in Professor Manche we have a Rector who is conscious of his high position and is "determined to safeguard the traditional privileges and liberties of our Alma Mater". But, what is more, with his appointment we are fully confident that the rights of the student-body will be duly respected and their efforts towards the prestige of the University will be in all ways encouraged.
