Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 7 April 27, 1938

Preliminaries

Preliminaries

An hour after the train had arrived the New Zealand Students Association officers had met in the Council Room at the University to begin what proved to be the marathon event of the Tournament.

At 2.30 p.m. on Friday all gathered in the College Hall at A.U.C. (and this is a hall as is a hall) to be welcomed by the Auckland College Council. Tournament Delegates and Students' Association. The Speeches were commendably brief, bright in places, and created a good atmosphere for the events to come.

The press bureau had also met in the morning and continued, with small and insignificant periods of rest, until Tuesday morning. The Press Bureau was a new event for the Tournament, having only been formed in the past twelve months as the result of a suggestion made at the 1937 contest. Work was done which it is hoped will prove of value in the next year or two.

The games opened on Saturday morning with Tennis at Stanley Street. Athletics at the Domain, and Boxing at the Town Hall. In the latter V.U.C. had by the end of the morning managed to win three bouts. Coveney's fight was particularly interesting.
