Disappointed

There was a young student of Latin,
Who thought it a tongue he was pat in:
But when he had "sat,"
He did not think that,
That unfortunate student of Latin!

There was a young student of French
Who sat down on a very hard bench;
And then wondered why,
The Lecture was dry,
That unfortunate student of French!

There was a young Student of English,
Most of all wished himself to distinguish;
Tried to boss the whole class,
Found it did not quite pass,
That unfortunate student of English!

Students throughout New Zealand will rejoice that Sir Robert Stout has been appointed Chancellor of the University.

A Road Race was arranged by the Wellington Harrier Club and a team from Victoria College competed. The course was from the Post Office to the Patent Slip and back. The Harrier No. 1 Team gained first place, Harrison's Gymnasium second and Victoria College third. Of the College men de la Mare was fourth, G. M. Henderson sixth, with King and Taylor some distance behind. Pollock, the winner, covered the distance, 7 miles, in 42 minutes 17 seconds.
