IN this issue we reproduce pictures of Mr. M. W. Richmond, Lecturer in Law, Constitutional History and Jurisprudence, P. W. Robertson, and our Representatives at the University Tournament.

Mr. Richmond, after four years at Nelson College, spent some years at school near Berne, Switzerland. For a short time he took science lectures at Heidelberg, leaving there to attend I University College, London. Here he was most successful, gaining scholarships in each year, including that for Higher Mathematics and in 1880, graduating B.Sc. of London University, with First-Class Honours in Experimental Physics.

Returning to New Zealand, Mr. Richmond studied for the legal profession and practised till 1900, in partnership first with Mr. C. F. Richmond and afterwards with Mr. T. F. Martin. Since 1885 he has acted as Law Reporter for the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court in Wellington.

In 1900 he was appointed Lecturer on Law at Victoria College and of Constitutional History and Jurisprudence in 1903. In 1904 he sat for and obtained the degree of LL.B. of N.Z. University.

For our picture of P. W. Robertson, we are indebted to the kindness of the "N.Z. Times Coy."
