[Auto-generated transcript. Edits may have been applied for clarity.] Your graduation is a particularly special occasion for you, marking the culmination of your studies at the University of Liverpool. I believe that this video recording will provide a memorable record of the ceremony at which you received your degree, and also that it will be a source of considerable pleasure to those of your family and friends who are unable to see you graduate on the day. I would like to take this opportunity to offer you my personal congratulations on your achievement, and to wish you every success for the future.

00:01:05.020 - 00:01:26.170

If you are now leaving Liverpool, this is not the end of your association with the university. I hope that you will keep in touch with us through the links of University convocation, the faculty, your departmental alumni associations and the organisation known as the friends of the University. I have no doubt that will be many memories of your time spent at Liverpool University,

00:01:26.500 - 00:01:47.500

which you will wish to recall with pleasure in the years to come. In a few moments you will see the ceremony begin. But before we enter the hall, let us take a brief look at the university where you studied for your degree. Will you relax between classes and form friendships which will surely stand the test of time? I hope that these scenes will serve as a pleasurable reminder of your student days here.

00:01:48.670 - 00:09:15.860

Perhaps they will also encourage you to visit us again when the opportunity arises. If you do so, you'll be certain to receive a very warm welcome. I. Thank you. I declare, open this congregation for the conferment of degrees.

00:09:19.460 - 00:10:02.720

Ladies and gentlemen, graduands. We are here today for what is a unique and important occasion in all of your lives, whatever your degree and by whatever route it has been achieved, you are entitled on this day to feel a very great gratification, a sense of pride, of a worthwhile task, properly accomplished. Your parents, families and friends, many of whom I am delighted to welcome here today as the guests of the University.

00:10:03.590 - 00:10:31.100

They should feel pride in your achievement, and I'm sure that it has been made easier by their support and encouragement and occasionally, sometimes sacrifices. While you have been here. During your stay here in Liverpool as students, you will have seen the beginnings of the process of the regeneration of Merseyside.

00:10:32.480 - 00:11:13.910

There is much to admire in the initiative that made the International Garden Festival such an outstanding success in 1984, while the Albert Dock development, which includes now the Tate of the North, is a way of preserving our architectural heritage, while at the same time revitalising the dockland area and bringing jobs and money to the city. And as I am sure any of you who have been to that area will see that enterprise has been and goes on being a very great success.

00:11:16.230 - 00:11:52.860

That is no peripheral part of the life of the university, for this university has always been an integral part of the city of Liverpool. It was, after all, originally created by a group of influential citizens just over a century ago, and the university has contributed much to the life of the local community in very many ways. Practically, for example, through the maintenance of a large section of the inner city.

00:11:52.860 - 00:12:31.920

This campus in the middle of which we now are professionally through the provision of the education and training of lawyers, teachers, doctors, dentists, accountants, engineers, social workers, nurses, vets, architects and many others who choose to work locally after graduation. Quite apart from those who go to other parts of the country or abroad. Not only that, but the presence of the University also adds very considerably to the cultural life of the region,

00:12:32.610 - 00:13:09.950

and the research undertaken in very many of our departments is a benefit to local and regional industry, with which we have close links. We are now working to strengthen those links even further, and to use our vast resources, both human and material, to help with that process of the regeneration of Merseyside. You as graduands now have a permanent association with the city and with the University of Liverpool.

00:13:10.430 - 00:13:41.420

And I hope that that association is the basis of an affection which will endure. You can, I'm sure, be justly proud of your Liverpool degree. For our reputation as an institution of education and research is one of the finest. And all the recent indications are that whatever measure of calculation one cares to use,

00:13:42.050 - 00:14:14.940

we now rate as one of the best of this nation's universities. And you as our graduates. Will yourselves further enhance the reputation of your university by your success in your future careers? I hope, therefore, that you will regard today not as the end of your association with the University. Certainly not, but rather as the end of the beginning of that association,

00:14:15.240 - 00:14:44.340

and the start of a different kind of relationship as one of its full graduate members. For what you will be a member of congregation, and you will continue to receive information about the university from time to time. And I hope that you will also join this association, which we call the friends of the University of Liverpool and the Alumni associations, where you will be made very welcome.

00:14:46.420 - 00:15:26.900
