Jubilee celebrations 1902
Notification of the Jubilee celebrations
The notification of the Jubilee celebrations was sent to the various universities and learned institutions throughout the civilised world, although it was hardly expected that the universities of Europe and America would send representatives to Australia for the special purpose of attending the Celebration.
The notification was in the following terms:
UNIVERSITAS SYDNEIENSIS UNIVERSITATI
S.P.D.
Quinquagesimi anni Academiae hujus feliciter peracti
sollemnia, quae in diem undetricesimum Septembris et inse-
quentes quattuor dies indiximus, rite celebraturi, omnes in-
clitas Universitates gaudii nostri participes esse cupimus; et
quamquam veremur, ne, toto paene orbe divisi cum simus, vix
satis aequum postulare videamur si rogemus ut aliquem ex
insigni coetu veetro hue usque mittatis, qui praesens nobis
gratuletur, volumus tamen voe certiores factos, si quern adle-
gaveritis, noe eum libenter hospitio esse accepturoe.
H. N. MacLaubin, CanceUarius.
Abtubus Renwick, Vice-Cancellarins.
H. E. Babff, Registrarius.
Dabamus Sydneiae X die Februarii, MDCCCCII.
The members of the governing bodies of the Australasian
Universities, as well as the professors, lecturers and other high
officials, were individually invited to attend.
