For the information of posterity, "Salient" presents the history of the Victoria University College Society for the Discussion of Peace, War, and Civil Liberties.

Believe it or not, that is now the name of the newly- formed. Peace Society.

The Peace Society was formed about two months ago, and at two preliminary meetings, the aims and objects of the Society, and its constitution, were decided upon. An application for affiliation to the Students' Association Executive was refused by that body, and the Executive of the Peace Society called upon the Students' Association to hold a Special General Meeting of students to discuss the matter.

After a long and full discussion before a large body of students, it was decided that affiliation should be granted to the Peace Society, by 74 votes to 22.
