THE LATIN SPEECHES
Head of School’s Greeting
En iterum, O Pelliparii, huc ideo colligimur, ut concelebremus et nostram scholam conditam et id studium, eam curam, quam Pellipariorum Societas clarissima nunc et semper nobis confert. Nos vestri discipuli hac festa die vobis maxime gaudentes salutem damus. Et te quoque, O Moderator doctissime, salutamus, et laetamur quod tu nobis adesse potes.
Iterum hoc anno res feliciter ubique gessimus, in rebus et academicis et artificiosis et ludicris. Hoc vehementer speramus, quod vobis, e disciplina quam nobis contulistis, aliquid gaudii accipere licebit, et a nostris rebus gestis et a nostris moribus. Valete.
Once again, O Skinners’ Company, we are gathered here to celebrate the foundation of our school and the continued generosity shown to us by the Skinners’ Company. On this special day we your scholars are happy to greet you. We also welcome you, O Examiner, and are pleased that you are able to be with us.
The school has once again enjoyed success in every field: academic, artistic, and sporting. We hope that, as a result of the education provided to us, you can be proud, not only of our achievements, but also of our characters.
Reply by All Souls Examiner
O Pelliparii, vosque magistri atque discipuli Tonbrigienses, vobis salutem dicit Custos Sociique Collegii Omnium Animarum Oxonii. Maximam mihi praestat laetitiam quod vestram egregiam academiam inviso munere functus inquisitoris Collegii Omnium Animarum.
Nos omnes, quibus fortuna praeclaram eruditionem largita est, iura fructus beneficia semper ante oculos ponere debemus. Beneficia enim una cum officiis servanda manent. Vestrum est hoc officium, ut haec disciplina cotidiana, illa studia superiora sint usui vobis magno, reipublicae maximo.
Denique precor ut omnibus, qui magistri atque discipuli Tonbrigienses vocantur, omnia bene fauste feliciter eveniant. Valete.
O Skinners, teachers and scholars of Tonbridge School, I bring you greetings from the Warden and Fellows of All Souls College. It brings me great pleasure to visit your illustrious school in the office of All Souls Examiner.
All of us who have enjoyed a fine education should constantly remember our exceptional privilege. But with privileges go duties. Your duty is to make use of the education you are receiving not only for your own but for the common good. I wish the school every success.
