Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 6 April 13, 1938

Desecration

Desecration

Dear "Salient,"—With reference to the article, "Le Batiment en Danger." appearing in the last issue of "Salient" we wish to express our intense disapproval of the flippant treatment of so serious a subject as the inadequacy of the gymnasium.

Surely students are weary of constant reminders of the disgraceful conduct in the cemetery—desecration is never amusing.

Year after year appeals are launched for the Building Fund. Now, more than ever before, is it necessary that funds be raised quickly: but that an organ of student opinion should combine an appeal with ribald remarks on a subject which has already antagonised a large section of the community It lowering to the dignity of the College and most certainly will not provoke a response from the students or outsiders.—Yours, etc.

—J.E.O. E.A.W. P.F.S.
