UNIVERSITY "RAG."
LIVELY SCENE IN EDINBURGH. ADDRESS BY MR LLOYD GEORGE, -'resa Association—By T9lcgr«.pli—Copyright LONDON, March 2. Mr Lloyd George delivered the rectorial address at Kdinburgh University. He was enthusiastically received. Persons without tickets besieged the university, and several were arrested for opposing the polk©. j The occasion was turned into a tremendous "rag" by the .students, who from the galleries bombarded those beneath with flour bags and leeks. Owing to the ceaseless interruptions Mr Lloyd Gecrgo curtailed his address,* which dealt with a few random thoughts on politicians and their difficulties. He said a political career was full of disappointments. Politicians lived in an atmosphere of criticism and censure. No other profession was carried on under such exacting, irritating, and mortifying conditions.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
