Joanna:
We have between 10 and 12 ceremonies in July, 2 in November
and the Chancellor (2 or 3 ceremonies at most) or
(usually) Vice-Chancellor presides at all of them.
In years gone by, the Vice-Chancellor was often represented
by a senior professor, but we haven't done that for some
time, 9 or 10 years.
