Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Records of the Tercentenary Festival of the University of Dublin: Held 5th to 8th July, 1892
The warm affection with which alumni of Old Trinity look back to their Alma Mater is well known. The approach of the Tercentenary was eagerly anticipated by our graduates all over the globe. In London, on the 17th of june, 1891, the nominal year of the Tercentenary, a banquet was given in the Middle Temple Hall in honour of the occasion. Lord Ashbourne, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, was in the chair, and many of our most distinguished graduates resident in England were present. This feast takes precedence in point of time of all celebrations of the Tercentenary. In Australia a most influential committee was appointed, and arrangements were made and admirably carried out for a celebration of the Tercentenary in Melbourne concurrently with its celebration at home; and it is regretted that it is not within the scope of this work to include an account of the Australian celebration. Sermons were preached from many pulpits on the occasion, or on its approach, some of which the editor would gladly have included in the present volume if space had permitted.1'
