The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1903

Auckland College

page 15

Auckland College.

Besides the set business of the meeting, Auckland College and its friends provided us with many amusements. The University Ball on Easter Monday was a great success in every way, though regrets may still linger in the minds of those who played in the Tennis Finals next day. On Sunday afternoon we were entertained at afternoon tea by Professor and Mrs. Thomas in their beautiful garden. On Tuesday afternoon the Harbour picnic to Matu Tapu was enjoyed to the full, for training was off and duty done. The kindness of the Auckland people, the miscellaneous programme provided by the students, the beauty of the Harbour, combined to make the excursion a most enjoyable one. On Wednesday afternoon the fond partings, such as "crush the life from out young hearts," and the final cheers attested the cordial feelings entertained by the visitors for those who had managed the Tournament so ably, and given to all such a royal welcome.
