Abstract
THE ninth jubilee of the University of Glasgow was celebrated last week with brilliant ceremony. The proceedings opened on Wednesday with a commemoration service in Glasgow Cathedral, when a sermon was preached by Dr. M'Adam Muir. In the afternoon Principal Story, the Vice-Chancellor, on taking the chair, read the following telegram from the King:—“I remember with what great pleasure I laid the foundation stone of your new buildings in 1866, and I heartily congratulate the University on the celebration of the 450th year of its existence.” He then addressed a welcome to the delegases, who subsequently presented addresses from universities, colleges and other learned and public bodies on the Continent, in the United States of America, the British colonies and dependencies, and the United Kingdom.
