And we matriculated last weekend!
Students become official members of the university at the matriculation ceremony.
Afternoon 1pm! Nostalgic undergrad days...
Mood was jubilant all around the town with hundreds of fresher students on the street donning the gowns.
Famous words from our Vice Chancellor in the solemn and quite hall (except for few coughing students) where the ceremony was being held:
"...you are continuing the tradition of many who have come before you, many who have coughed in the same way..."
"...you are continuing the tradition of many who have come before you, many who have coughed in the same way..."
He might have shared few other jokes, but I missed those, as part of the speech was in Latin!
Until 100yrs ago, there used to be a Latin test, mandatory for admission into the university. 'am I glad they discontinued with that practice!
