As a monarchist, it is good to know that some universities continue with the singing of the Royal anthem and yet it is a pity that some do not.
Does anyone know how the tradition of singing 'God Save the Queen' at Canadian university convocations even got started? i.e., what does the Sovereign have to do with institutions of higher learning? I would be most interested in knowing the roots of this tradition.
Thank you
