The entertainment of the graduates of the year by the Graduates' Association this time took the form of a tea, which was held at College on Friday, June 22nd. There was a pleasant assemblage of graduates, both old and new. Mr. Eichelbaum, the President of the Association, spoke first, with his usual flow of humour. The purpose of his speech, apparently, was to set forth the objects of the Association, and to invite all present to become "the subjects and predicates," I have not yet found out what qualifications are necessary for filling the respective offices, but no doubt Mr. Eichelbaum will gladly enlighten intending applicants. One always expects sound advice when one is a new graduates entertained by those of other years, and this was provided by Professor Garrow, who welcomed the new members in a wise and kind speech. The reply was made by Mr. Hall-Jones. He outlined a little of his experience on Gallipoli, showing how strong was the bond amongst students of Victoria College followed them. It was natural that the thoughts of the company should turn to those who had been at similar gatherings in past years, but were now far distant. Mr. Clement Watson voiced page 36 this feeling as he spoke of absent friends, referring especially to those graduates of Victoria College who had fallen in the war. The gathering presently broke up, to assemble later at the evening ceremony of presentation.
