Bob Bradshaw.

With much patient persuasion and benignity we elicited from Bob Bradshaw, possibly unknown to himself, that he would be standing for the Presidency this year. While he was not rash enough to disagree with anything so formidable as a "Smad" reporter, Bob hinted that he was not in entire agreement with our editorial of last issue re the sudent public "demanding a constructive programme." However, his tones were so honeyed that we felt his disapproval almost as a compliment. Showing a proper disdain for political methods, he was very reluctant to enunciate any platform. If he were elected, he said, most of his attention would be devoted to seeing that the Building Fund was put on a more active basis and to preparing and organising Tournament. These would take up considerable time.

He was definitely not favourable to the Exec. painting the town red, electing Mae West as patron, or "kicking up too much trouble." Then came the dramatic climax—he "wanted to preserve the same relations between the staff and the students as had existed in the two previous years." This, we felt, must have been borrowed from Gladstone. As for biography, born at the early age of less than one, he soon shone in the preparation of figures, becoming Assistant Treasurer (1932), Treasurer (1933), and Men's Vice-President of the Exec. last year. The Swimming and Football Clubs are his main recreational side-lines.
