The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1923

The Glad Hand

The Glad Hand

"Spike" extends the glad hand of friendship and the welcoming smile of brotherhood to the latest acquisitions to the teaching-staff of V.U.C., namely awl to wit, in the first place, to Professor D.C. H. Florance, M .A., M. Sc., the new Professor of Physics. Comrade Florance comes to us suffused with all the romance and glamour of the East (see Kipling or any movie ad.), havin'r previously occupied the chair of Physics at Hong Kong University, and he is to tell us all about it in the near future. He is a graduate of V.U.C., and thus adds one more to our list of New Zealand-grown professors. Welcome likewise to Miss Thora C. Marwick, M. Sc., a graduate of Otago, the prof's learned assistant; to Mdlle. d'Ery and to Mr. W. Alexander, MA., L.L.B. (also Otago), asistants respectively in Modern page 59 Languages and Classics; and finally to the new dog-fish expert, Mr. Maskell, B.A., B.Sc. Ave, Spike vos salutat. We can hardly welcome Professor Tennant, but we can congratulate him on his elevation.
