THE GRADUATION CEREMONY.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —Your correspondent, “ Graduate.” in referring to a which appeared in your paper expressing appreciation of the hospitality extended to students during capping week, rightly administers a stinging rebuke to those students who indulged in such disgraceful conduct at the graduation ceremony. One is prepared to allow a certain amount of latitude to noisy interruptions from light-headed students at such functions, bxit their misbehaviour on the last occasion was such as should not be allowed to pass without some salutary punishment, either in the way of cancelling higher-leaving certificates, bursaries, or disqualification from the right to sit for the next examination as a deterrent for the future*. These students should bo made to understand that the money is wasted by the State on keeping at the University those whose conduct is so reprehensible.—l am, etc., VISITOR.

P.S.— lt is not for students to determine whether a speecli is too long. In any case the rowdyism started from the very beginning of the Vice-Chancellor s speech.
