The War Anniversary

Abstract

On the 4th of August 1915-the anniversary of the commencement of the Great War with Germany-the whole of the Estate in response to a circular issued by the Principal, met at 9-30 a. M. in the large quadrangle on the ground floor of the College. A large table had been improvised into a platform to which one of the huge stone pillars, decorated with a large Union Jack formed a suit- able back ground. The whole assembly-composed as it was of all the officers, European and Indian, and the Students-formed a huge ring around the platform. Amid the cheers of the gathering the Director of Agriculture ascended the platform and explained in a short but stirring address the purpose why they had met there that day. The following speech of the Director is printed in toto for the benefit of the reader.
