Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 10, No. 1. February 28, 1947

Our Regrets

Our Regrets

It is regretted that the proposed plans for a "Salient" weekly did not mature. The failure was not due to any lack of enthusiasm on the part of the editorial staff or students, but entirely on account of the Executive's attitude that they were not prepared to meet the £300 annual deficit that the paper would incur.

While this consideration of the students' financial obligations may be commendable, we feel that the proposed expenditure on such a venture would be more that outweighed by the social and cultural advantages that such a weekly publication would have. For the present and for an indefinite time to come, space limitation confines all published material to the bare reports of college activities, a small literary page, and occasional editorial, comments and contributed articles. And in none of these ways can the true latent literary powers of students be developed.

We can only hope that future Executives will be kinder, and perhaps that the matter will be discussed by the college during the Annualy General Meeting of students in July.
