The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1916

The Calendar

The Calendar.

This year the Victoria College Calendar has been merged in, and forms part of the University Calendar. The change is a good one in many ways, and it should certainly save the College Council some unnecessary expenditure. However there is one matter, upon which we think the change open to criticism. In the former Victoria College Calendar a full list of graduates and undergraduates always appeared: in the new Calendar the names of both are omitted. Club secretaries and other harassed individuals (including the Editor of the "Spike") have found these lists, in many directions, of the very greatest assistance. They formed the only permanent record open to students, of all past and present students of the College. Surely it is high time that a Register of Victoria College students were compiled. Some of our past students occupy high and honourable positions on different spheres of public life. It is a pleasant thing, and an inspiring thing to refleet upon their past association with the College. University men's memories are short, and it is only too easy for the present student to forget the names of those, who built for us in the past, those traditions, which form an integral part of the life of the College.
