“ADDRESS” FOR DUKE
VARSITY “RAG” FUN IN MELBOURNE 3y Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright MELBOURNE, Wednesday. The Duke of York had an amusing experience when he visited Melbourne University, where the degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon him. The students indulged in an amusing "rag.” They blocked the Duke’s path and lifted him bodily into a specially prepared carriage. Seated in this conveyance were a n umber of students, who were dressed to represent several branches of naval, military, religious and civil life. The carriage was then driven to the scene of an exaggerated representation of country life in the University grounds. There His Royal Highness was presented with an address from the “country folk.” The Duke took the joke in good part and thoroughly entered into the spirit of the “rag.”—A. and N.Z.
