the students met the Univ Council

in open forum in the quadrangle outside the Admin this morning. I observed the proceedings from downstairs for a while and then I crept upstairs to the Architecture faculty where I could better hear the proceedings. The Pro Chancellor used the thoughts of Mr Kiliti, father of the late Robin to encourage the students to concentrate on the job at hand - to get through their year. He recounted how Mr Kiliti at the funeral yesterday had spoken of his dream three years ago which was to be standing proudly in one year's time beside his son who would be wearing a University hat and gown and silk hood and who would be holding in his hand his passport to security. Such heartache as this dream is not to be. Such anguish and agony at having come so close. How does the human spirit recover from that.
