Extraordinary scones were witnessed at Aberdeen University when Mr. Asquith, the Premier, who attended as Rector to givo an address, received an uproarious welcome from the students. His address was punctuated with snatches of song, shouts, and general uproar. At one point' a divinity student dressed as a Suffragette unfurled a banner, and, mounting on his chair, used a rattle and a small pipo.to make noises of the most excruciating character. It was at the finish, however, that the most excitiug scene occurred. Some of tho undergraduates had provided a landau in which they designed to haul their Rector to tho house of'-tho Principal for luncheon. The vehicle, however, was boarded by a mob of youths and drawn so loaded round the quadrangle. Eventually the front wheels became locked, and tho carriage turned on.its side. 'Jfhen it was turned wheels upwards and smashed to splinters.
