Abstract
THE delegates of the foreign and national universities and of many academies of science met an enthusiastic reception at the centenary festival. The organisation was admirable throughout, and much useful assistance was given by a number of students, who acted as marshals, and by ladies who had been asked by the University authorities to help in the entertainment. The majority of the professors and students spoke English well, so that if any foreign delegate met with a difficulty—which is improbable—at least the way was made smooth for all who spoke English.
