Gabfest honours
Gabfest honours
Honours for most talking at the senatorial gabfest were taken by college academic heads, Victoria's principal Williams and council chairman Stout leading by a good margin. Not far behind were Otago's vice-chancellor Soper and Auckland's principal Maidment, Canterbury's delegation conceding fourth place to NZU vice-chancellor Currie and Director of Education Beeby.

Sir David Smith ... art and the modern age
The change in name to "University" to replace the present "University College," got an initial blessing from Chancellor Sir David Smith in his opening address.
A special committee report was tabled on this subject and the replacement of NZU by some other central and co-ordinating body thrashed out. Meantime, all that will be effective is the change in name, no degree-conferring powers being yet delegated.
These will come sometime later, when the organization replacing NZU is decided on.
