The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1919

[introduction]

'Tis ever common, men are merriest away from home.

Shakespeare.

The Inter-Varsity Tournaments were resumed at Easter. The last Tournament was held at Auckland, Easter, 1915. This year representatives went Dunedinwards. Victoria gathered about fifty students, who were joined at Wellington by the Aucklanders. A crowd of Wikitorians went down to the ferry wharf to speed the parting warriors, and a most affecting scene was witnesses. Finally the crusaders sang "Keep the Home Fires Burning"—and the "Maori" left the wharf.
