To take casual leave from the university is not advisable for me under the present circumstances for various reasons. I could, therefore, attend only two out of the six days of the Convocation; and as these days will certainly be very busy and full of engagements and arrange. ments, I am afraid there would hardly be any leisure and time for personal and scientific intercourse and the exchange of ideas. However much, therefore, I should like to join the Convocation festivities, I thought it might be better to renounce altogether that part of them which I could only attend any way and come at some other time.
