The University Orator's job is to create formal presentations,  in Latin, to mark historic moments in academic life or, most  commonly, to present the honorary degrees which Oxford  periodically awards to leading international figures. The  distinguished Classical scholar Godfrey Bond, who held the post  of Orator between 1980 and 1992, was a master at creating concise  biographical portraits in clear, beautifully-constructed Latin.  This book contains a collection of his addresses to famous  figures, including Kiri te Kanawa, Cardinal Basil Hume, King Juan  Carlos of Spain, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Prince Naruhito of  Japan, Joseph Brodsky and Sir Vidia Naipaul. In all of these  elegant orations, the charm and the wit of the man who translated  jumbo jets as  balanenae ballistariae  (`catapulted whales') shines through.
