THE STUDENTS AND THE CITIZENS.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir,—l note one of your correspondents is complaining of the graduation ceremony at this year’s capping. Perhaps your correspondent slept through the ceremony; that is the only way in which ho (or she) could possibly have stood tho endurance test. The Vice-Chancellor seems to deem this ceremony a golden opportunity for presenting a species of annual report. On this occasion he spoke for forty-seven minutes. Ido not blame students for objecting to listen to a tedious enumeration lasting more than threequarters of an hour. Moreover, this speech was scarcely fair to the speaker ot the day, who got the benefit of everyone’s boredness. If the ViceChancellor or anyone else wants to improve the tone of the ceremony, the first step would appear to be a reasonable length for the speeches.—l am. etc.. Tit For Tat. August 6.
