University Commemoration.
(from the Echo.)
The annual commemoration of the Sydney University took place on Saturday afternoon in the Great Hall of the University, in the presence of a very large and brilliant as- semblage. The proceedings were specially attractive this year by reason of the first public performances being given upon the new organ, and so numerous were the visitors who sought admission that room had to be found for a large number of ladies on the dais. This part of the hall was arranged in a manner different from that noticeable on former occasions. The chairs and seats were placed as upon a gradually rising gallery, and by that plan not only did the dais present a more than usually attractive appearance, but everybody seated there had a full view of the company in the body of the hall.
The new organ was on this occasion played for the first time in public, and although it is not yet completely fitted up, the effect it produced was a practical disproof of asser- tions which have been made that it was in any sense a bad purchase. The money laid out on it seems "to have been very well in- vested, and the tone produced is broad, full, and brilliant. His Excellency the Governor, Lord Augustus Loftus, G.C.B.,arrived shortly after two o'clock. When the organ had ceased playing,
The Chancellor (Sir William Manning), in the usual form, pronounced the meeting to be duly and lawfully opened.
Dr. Badham then called to the front of the dais, and introduced to the Chancellor, the following candidates for matriculation and for various degrees :-
