Varsity Students' annual antics – the effective agriculture float [from the Queenslander Pictorial, May 9, 1935] UQA S177 P987
This photograph depicts a student float being paraded through the streets of
Brisbane
during ‘Commem Day'. This was a tradition celebrated by students in a ‘spirit of youthful revelry and joyous festivity', featuring the Public Procession, during which students would parade down Brisbane City streets on humorous and witty floats. Later in the day the Ceremony of Conferring Degrees would take place, which was usually followed by a dinner and ball in honour of the newly fledged graduates.
