ANDREW Turnbull (Letters, May 10) made some pertinent points about the importance of preserving Scotland’s languages and dialects, and I’m sorry to see that Celia Judge (Letters, May 11) profoundly disagrees. We in the West protest about China’s treatment of the Uighurs and her efforts to impose a Han Chinese monoculture in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. But that’s exactly what Britain did in its imperial glory days, and traces of that remain. One aspect of that policy was the renaming of places and people to make them sound more British. The most famous example is probably Nelson Mandela, who became Nelson only after he was given that fine British name on his first day at school.
THE University of Glasgow, I feel, risks being seen as mean-spirited in cancelling graduation ceremonies this year for students (as it announced on March 2) and, even now, claiming the pandemic as an excuse for continuing to let the cancellation extend throughout the summer. Rules surrounding restricted activities have been changing month by month and it should not be beyond the wit of experienced academics to restructure graduations to fit. Scotland will be out of lockdown by the summer months and the university has oven-ready annual graduation plans that could easily adapt. Students and their families would certainly race to modify plans to attend.
