Graduates' Luncheon

Graduates' Luncheon.

Again at Gamble and Creed's on May 10th. Rather more genteel than the preceding function, but very pleasant withal. The genial Mr. Fair presided with much grace and great bonhomie, and proposed the toast of the graduates of the year in a very happy speech. Mr. McCormick, that modest man, replied in a speech that was modesty itself. Mr. H. F. O'Leary, one of our legal luminaries, proposed "Victoria University College"; Mr. P. Levi acknowledged the compliment, being this time slightly more audible than he was later on in the afternoon. Professor Kirk, in his most smiling mood, praised "Past Students"; and Mr. G. F. Dixon, one of the heroic band who made us what we are, also very smiling, replied with the only piece of Latin he learnt from John Brown in the course of many years. It was a great day.
