Farewell

Farewell

On August 6th the Honours and Advanced Chemistry students held a very delightful "At Home" to farewell Mr. A. D. Munro on the eve of his marriage. Tea was served downstairs, and the guest of honour arrived in company with Professor Robertson. Tea was poured out and handed round (see Cummin & Kay, page 16; milk jug patent applied for), but somehow there was a feeling of tension in the air. At last it was relieved, when Mr. Richardson, in a few faltering words, tried to express to Mr. Munro the feelings of all those present, and presented him with a slight token of their goodwill. Mr. Munro then replied, making reference to the events that were so near—so very near, in fact, too—no, he did not say " too near"—though it sounded very like it. Then we cheered him, then we sang that good old song about his being a very fine fellow; then followed more cheers and songs. Feeling very much cheered, our guest departed, taking for Miss Reader the last chocolate biscuit, which we had all been too polite to eat. Altogether, it was a very happy party, and the chemical students are ready to guarantee a like send-off to all those of the Science wing who will take a similar plunge. Applications, together with a slight fee (¼) must be in the hands of the Lab. boy at least three weeks before the day.
