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

Undergraduates' Supper

Undergraduates' Supper.

This sedate festivity took place in Gamble and Creed's rooms on the night of May 9th. Owing to the number demanding admittance it was necessary to use two floors; over one section of the participants presided Prof. Hunter, over the other Prof. Boyd-Wilson. The details remain rather hazy in our memory. The food was good, but the helpings were attenuated. The waitresses were very charming. The drink ran short early in the evening, and toasts, had to be drunk in goodwill and imagination. Speeches were made by the worthy Professors and by Brothers Martin-Smith and W. A. Sheat, and by several other worthy brethren whose names we forget, though not their eloquence. Other worthy brethren, again, sang and played and otherwise performed to our great content and gratification. We unaccomplished ones, on the other hand, could do no more than join in the choruses with voice and spoon; this also to our great content. The night passed quickly.
