Seeing through HIV's disguises - Cardiff University

HEAdER 125TH ANNIVERSARy CElEbRATIoNS
Founders’ Day
A special celebratory event in the presence of staff, students
and other friends and supporters marked 125 years since the
University’s foundation on 24 October.
Church bells were rung across the
city, just as they did on the opening
of the University in 1883.
Professor Sioned Davies, Head of the
School of Welsh, (pictured right) read the
poem Education - a special commission
for Cardiff University’s 125th Anniversary
by Gwyneth Lewis, Wales’s inaugural
National Poet.
Personnel from Wales Universities’ Officers
Training Corp marked the occasion by
arranging a ceremonial gun firing.
“Our 125th anniversary celebration
provides good cause for celebration with
the many friends, supporters, members
of the University and other stakeholders
upon whom Cardiff University’s
continued success depends,” wrote
Vice-Chancellor Dr David Grant in a
celebratory supplement in the Western
Mail newspaper.
“Today we can all look with pride upon
achievements and progress across a very
wide range of academic disciplines which
have brought an equally wide range
of benefits to individuals and society
throughout Wales and in the wider world.”

Beiddia feiddio,
gwellha dy wneud.
Mynna geisio,
parcha ddweud.
Trawsnewidiad
fydd dy glod.
Dy ddyfodol:
mentro bod.
Learning’s a passport that returns you home
a better person. It permits you to dare
being daring. Makes you secure
with not knowing everything. Helps you welcome
some failure. Forges an alloy
with others’ thinking. It is simple delight
in mind and its motions. Scintillates
but isn’t deceptive. Admits the joy
of institutes, is the open road
to everywhere but bigotry.
It’s the shortest distance between you and me
and, if you’re lucky, it never ends.
