Dispatches for the Colonial Office
Take Cover! We’re Celebrating Intellectual Achievements!
“These papers expired three weeks ago.
You’ll have to come with us.”
-a colonial police officer to a refugee in
Casablanc

Graduates meet to celebrate the joys
Of scientific research, music, art
Literature, cinema, theology –
Veritas et scientia for all
On shaded lawns in academic gowns
They exchange Shakespearean bon mots
And toast the future and good fellowship
While forming up for the processional
In fashionable scholarly regalia:
Flak jackets in academic colours
