SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1933. Volume 4. Number 1.

Haere Mai!

Haere Mai!

Again we start a new scholastic year, and again we extend a welcome to fresh faces at Victoria College, and to remembered friends of last and other years. At the moment times do not seem at all encouraging to the student, and there appears but little incentive to take the long and arduous path to a degree. Still, there is much to be gained and little to be lost by attending a University. The College does not end with the lecture room alone, and although this statement is hackneyed and so oft repeated that it has lost almost all its force, it is nevertheless still true. To attend the College and to take no interest in anything save the passing of examinations is to miss much.

We therefore ask "freshers" to avail themselves of all that Victoria University College offers, and to join in with its social life. You are starting your University life here in an important year—for this year, 1933, marks the opening of Weir House, the new residential hostel for men at Victoria College, and we sincerely hope that all students in residence there will endeavour to make Weir House a decided asset to V.U.C. It should make a great difference to life here, and on the first students to take residence there much depends.

We hope, therefore, that 1933, despite everything, will be a successful year here, and again extend to the staff and all students hearty greetings.
