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

Graduates' Association

Graduates' Association.

It is regrettable to record that this year has witnessed a distinct decrease in the membership. A reminder is again given to all graduates (and especially to those resident in Wellington) that the welfare of the association is really dependent on them, and that the first and easiest thing to do in order to assist the association is to join it.

The committee early in the term was invited to consider a motion to be moved by Mr. H. F. von Haast at the next meeting of the Senate relating to a proposed University Roll of Honour. The proposal was welcomed by the committee, and it was decided to offer to undertake the work of supplying biographies and photographs, where such are required, of each graduate from the College, and of obtaining all other requisite information relating to the graduates.

Another matter which the committee has taken up is that if increasing interest in the work of the College, of acting as a medium between the public and the College. It has been decided, wherever possible, to arrange for meetings to be held at the College under the auspices of the Graduates Association, at which distinguished visitors to Wellington, or prominent local authorities be invited to deliver addresses. It was hoped that arrangements might be made with Mr. Lionel Curtis to deliver an address during his stay in Wellington, but it was found that this was impossible.
