Supper To Rhodes Scholarship Candidates
Supper To Rhodes Scholarship Candidates.
On the evening before the selection of the Rhodes Scholar, the four candidates were entertained in the Common Room at a supper—men only. There were over forty students present, and the passing of the evening was hastened in the usual manner by speeches supporting and replying to toasts, songs and recitations. W. H. Wilson's prophecy of the approaching evolution of the four University College of New Zealand into four separate Universities, attracted as much attention as any other remark made during the evening.
