"UNB President Addresses Alumni, Graduates' Initial Supper-Dance" Telegraph Journal (19 May 1960): Extract. (UA Case 67a, Box 2)
Alumni speaker was Dr. Robert Ogilvie of Fredericton, life president of the class of 1935, who recounted several anecdotes of the college’s past, stretching as far back as 1783, when the idea of establishing a university was conceived among a group of loyalists on Manhattan island.
Two traditions which have sprung up since 1935 have been the Winter Carnival and the Red and Black Review, both of which "deserve our support," he said.
Dr. Ogilvie was introduced by Mrs. Jean Adams and thanked by Mrs. Edward S. Fellows of Fredericton, president of the associated alumnae, who also congratulated the graduates.
