ADMISSION TO THE CONGREGATION

Admission to the Senate-House and Senate-House Yard will be strictly by ticket only.

All 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 P.A.H. Tee at the Old Schools, to arrive not later than Friday, 5 June 1998. No other applications can be entertained.

Those 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 can be offered to others: tickets are not transferable.

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.
