The Congregation will end at about 12.30 p.m.
Thursday, 13 July 2000, will be a 'scarlet' day, and Doctors in the several Faculties are asked to wear their festal gowns. Hoods are worn at the Congregation. In accordance with Regulation 4 for academical dress (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 184) any member of the University (other than the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the High Steward, the Commissary, the Proctors, the Registrary, the Esquire Bedells, the Orator, or the graduands) who holds a degree of another university or degree-awarding institution, may, on this occasion, wear the academical dress appropriate to that degree.
Admission to the Senate-House and Yard will be strictly by ticket only. The only entrance on this occasion will be by the South-East Gate, from King's Parade.
All members of the University are invited to apply for admission tickets, and, if they wish, for one guest ticket in each case.
Applications for tickets, which must be made in writing, and must give the names of all those for whom tickets are requested, should be sent to Mr Geoffrey Skelsey, Principal Assistant Registrary, at the Old Schools, to arrive not later than Friday, 16 June 2000. Applications may alternatively be e-mailed to paht2@admin.cam.ac.uk but please note that the full names of each applicant and their guest, and a postal address, are still required. Applications cannot be made in person or by telephone.
Those in the classes specified below, who wish to take part in the procession, are asked to state this clearly in their applications. Tickets will be issued to them, up to the number of places available.
Other members of the University, including those in statu pupillari, may apply for tickets for themselves and, if they wish, for one guest in each case, whose name and address must be given.
Tickets will be allocated strictly in the order in which applications are received, and will be despatched about one week before the Congregation. Applicants will understand that there may be more applications than places are available. Those who find that they cannot use their tickets are asked to return them so that their seats may be offered to others.
Further details of the arrangements will be included with the tickets.
No tickets for admission to Senate-House Yard will be available on the day of the Congregation. Tickets are not transferable.
