Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 2 March 15, 1939

[introduction]

Looking surprisingly alive after his introduction to tea the largest wooden building in the world, and V.U.C., the Professor of Political Science received "Salient" on Thursday evening. Although intensely active and especially anxious to assist. Dr. Lipson still finds himself a little out of place. "Give me time. I've only been here a month," he said when asked for student impressions. To a query as to whether he thought we were as fierce as American collegians, for the Doctor has studied and lectured at Chicago besides tutoring at Oxford, he replied: "I met my first class only last night. I certainly greatly admire their coming up here in the evenings. It was a surprise to find so many students part-timers. You think they would prefer to do full-time work?" We assured the Professor that It was simply a case of cram for jam. "Even public administration." Even there distantly rosily were the prospects of double rises.

Interested to find that "Salient" had had an article by Mr. Savage. Dr. Lipson wondered: "Do the students here take much interest in politics? Is there a political club—for all parties. I mean—much as the Oxford Union? Do you have addresses from Cabinet Ministers? Do they come here to be torn to pieces?"

Hardly that, we had to tell the Professor but there had been a notable occasion with Mr. Coates. The rough stuff was reserved for Consuls.
