The of the invitees seemed determined to forget that. It was, perhaps, last-minute scurryings culminated in a ceremony that owed a little to fortunate that there were a minimum of students present to remind tradition, a little to music, and a great deal to organised religion. them. A sepulchral hush was draped over an audience of grandees, funct­ ionaries, dignitaries and nonentities who sat stolidly through the business of declaring the poor old dear public property. They applauded when good manners dictated they should, looked like embarrassed elder brothers during the brief intrusion of Maoritanga, and probably went away congratulating themselves on their contrib­ ution to the jolliness. The sherry and the sausage rolls, the official party, the Studass President’s ill-becoming suit and air of deference, were all intended to celebrate her entry into society - a little behind the fashion, a little flushed from the effort - but here at last. Rather like a plain daughter of Royalty on her debut, she had to be flattered sufficiently to cover the general relief at having got rid of her. Everybody was probably there, if they hadn’t forgotten, and backs were slapped and hands shaken so firmly that, if the grins had been a little less determined, one might have suspected tension. But, no, it was not anxiety at work, just the boisterousness of self-congratulation It would have taken a cynic to demur in the face of the air of deter­ mined conviviality. As the Vivaldi and Berlioz wafted past, a few such may have won­ dered where the owners of the building were ... but only a few.
