Mr. Wilson on Tour

Mr. Wilson on Tour

Recently the Men's Vice-President, Mr. D. Wilson, visited six east coast secondary schools for the purposes of giving prospective University students a picture of student "life" in the University. This tour was not in any way to replace that by the Liaison Officer of Victoria, Mr. Hogg, but rather to supplement it and give a more balanced picture of life at the University. While stressing the academic side of University he attempted to give his audiences a picture of University which incorporated all aspects of student life; that is, academic, social, and sporting.

Approximately 250 students received the benefit of Mr. Wilson's profound knowledge, most of whom had but a rough idea of University life.

This is the first of such tours but as the advantages of being able to arouse interest in student affairs in prospective members of our life can be clearly seen and as the tour this year has been described by Mr. Wilson as an outstanding success he consequently, in tabling his report, recommended that the tours be continued in forthcoming years. This suggestion was adopted by the Ex-excutive with the suggestion that the tours be alternated between East and West Coast Secondary schools yearly.
