Upon attaining the Grail,

to take the sacred vessel to
the mystical island of Sarras. The

course, must be

in the form of expression
in your
chosen career.
I wish you
every success upon
your ‘mythic quest.’
I am in no doubt
that your experiences
within the
‘Forest Adventurous’
of university
life — both academic
and social
— will be both enrichening
and rewarding whilst
serving to equip you for negotiating
further ‘quests’ in your career
and personal life.
