Abstract

THE main feature of the Graduation Ceremony held on 4th October, was the installation of Prof. J. Manche, B.Sc., M.D., was Vice-Chancellor and Rector Magnificus of the Royal University. The event was marked by a large attendance of oId and new students who enthusiastically applauded the appointment of the new Rector Magnificus, which was read by the Secretary of the Royal University. On taking his chair on the dais, the Rector Magnificus delivered an address expressing his deep sense of the onerous duties ahead of him and his wish that under his guidance the University will bring forth men of character, conscious of the efforts that society demands of them. We feel that the noble words of the Rector Magnificus are a kindly light which will lead us on through the University with success and indeed even in our future careers. The address had a deeper significance especially for us members of the Law Society who are not acquainted with the genial ways of Professor Manche in the lecture-room; it was an introduction which made us aware that we had gained a friend. The ceremony over, students and members of the Academic Body proceeded to the University where the Rector Magnificus was met by a large gathering of his new sons and daughters and amid loud cheers he was carried shoulder high to his office. We avail ourselves of this opportunity to assure the Rector Magnificus that the University Students' Law Society will earnestly endeavor to help him achieve his high hopes and aspirations and we offer our sincerest congratulations.
