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.

Timely Advice.

Dr. Lipson has in fact an Intense interest in debating and is anxious to hear College dialectic; amused to learn that permission to discuss sex and religion had been granted but recently, he advised quick advantage of the privilege lest it be lost.

So far he had been Introduced to Mr. Parry only, he said, when asked whether he had met Cabinet, and could give no opinion as to whether they were practical political scientists. "Ask me in a year." Although he had long wanted to visit this part of the world he was more especially interested "as things are going on now."

Although he hopes to do some climbing—"and it is the hills here which make Wellington so pleasant after the monotony of London and Illinois"—the Doctor admits—and we give the confidence in all reverence—that "my hobby Is philately." Perhaps it was because we tactlessly mentioned "15 years" here that he so eagerly assured us that his staff colleagues shared that interest. "Salient" Young Stamp levers Column—soon. Ed.)

"I agree with Lord Bryce that the view from your front door is one of the finest in the world." Wellington is very much like San Francisco. "Upwards?" we asked. "The architecture? —a little old-fashioned, perhaps. But I've nothing to growl about," and surrounded by our February weather and his books—he has brought some hundredweight with him and although clinging to a nostalgia for "my American coffee." "Salient" found the Professor very well set up.

Next Time.

"Salient" apologises for not presenting Prof. Lipson on the New Deal, a common common room, or the student who wished to rend political science in one easy textbook. Realising that he Is to most of the studentry a dark horse, we had hoped to draw him. Perhaps we arc a little premature. The end of the month, say? We for one regret that we cannot hear him talking in his wonderful manner all through the year, but lectures clash so maddeningly. "Salient" sought a man to lean over lecterns and found a pattern to lead the embattled politicoes of Wikitoria against the world. For this now department is our Futhrer-Schule. Hence our Helled Hamiltons?

A Reminiscencc of October days would be impertinent? Was it not blurbed that O. C. ("British as Beer') Mazengarb of triennial tame took Political Science in his distant 'prentice time?
