Further Trials.

The Peace Society was all ready to commence its activities. Another meeting had to be held in order to elect the officers of the Society, in accordance with the constitution. Permission was given by Professor Gould for a room in the College to be used for this meeting, but the Principal, Sir Thomas Hunter, on hearing of the matter, revoked this permission.

In an interview with the interim committee, he stated that he was fully in sympathy with the aims of the society - to promote interest in, and discussion of, problems relating to peace, war, and civil liberties - but he was afraid that the town might think from the name that the Society was a propagandist body. He asked if it would be possible to have the name of the Society changed to one reflecting more accurately the aims and objects.

The interim committee promised to bring a motion before a special meeting to change the name to "The V. U. C. Society for the Discussion of Peace, War, and Civil Liberties".
