The retirement of Prof. F. Cremona LL.D.

Abstract

On September 30th, 1971, the Dean of the Faculty of Laws retired from service to the Royal University of Malta. He had reached the new age limit of 65 to which Council had already extended his services and had now completed the teaching of the students who were graduating in November, 1971. Our Alma Mater has many able men but it is now poorer without this dedicated and beloved teacher. Professor Cremona had occupied the Chair of Commercial Law for over 34 years, much longer, in fact, than any of his predecessors these last hundred years and was the 'master' of the present Chief Justice, Professor Dr John J. Cremona B.A., LL.D., D.Litt (Rome)., B.A., Hons. (Lond), Ph.D. (Lond), F.R.Hist.S., of more than half of the members now serving on Her Majesty's Bench as well as of all the members of the present Board of Faculty of Laws.
