Starting next year

The result of much planning, the scheme will be put into effect next year when a student from Indonesia will come to New Zealand for two or three years; and then another student will follow, perhaps from another country, and so on.

The S.E. Asian Scholarship Fund which will make this scheme possible is to be built up by contributions from all the constituent colleges. This college must raise, as its contribution to the scholarship, £110 by the end of July and a total of £220 by the end of the Varsity year. In following years the sum will be £110 only.

A committee has been formed to raise the necessary finance, and with the consent of the Minister of Internal Affairs a raffle has been started in the college to this end.

The majority of people in South-East Asia are ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed and have little defence against diseases, and to root of their difficulties is lack of education.
