An illuminated address was presented by the new Rand Afrikaans University to the University of Ghent in Belgium on the occasion of that university's 150th anniversary.@@The special significance of the presentation was that it came from the youngest university - the Rand Afrikaans University opens only next year (1968) - to possibly the oldest university of medieval Dutch origin.@@It was presented by the Rector of the Afrikaans University, prof. G. van N. Vi1joen, who was invited to Belgium for the anniversary celebrations.@@The picture shows Mr. Mike Florence (left), the artist who executed the address, presenting it to Mr. C.J. Rossouw, an official of the Rand Afrikaans University.
