Farewell and Good Luck to Mr. "Efficiency" Burns

Farewell and Good Luck to Mr. "Efficiency" Burns.

Doug. Burns, B.Sc., Member of V.U.C. Exec. 1931-1935. Secretary 1933-34, N.U.S. Delegate 1933, Tournament Delegate 1933-34-35, President N.Z.U.S.A. 1935, etc., etc., has been appointed to a position in Christchurch, and he is therefore severing his connection with V.U.C.'s affairs.

During a long University career he has done much for this University, and all those who have come in contact with him will agree that he has deserved the title of Mr. "Efficiency" Burns. As an instance of his conscientious attention to his work, it is worthy of note that out of 75 Executive meetings held while he was a member, Doug was present at 75! A record indeed for those who come after him.

To set out his career at length would at once turn this week's "Smad" into the "Burns issue," and might embarrass the subject of the eulogy. Victoria, however, appreciates his splendid work and will learn with regret that he is giving up University affairs. It may be some consolation to him to know that he leaves with "Smad's" blessing, and we wish him every success in Christchurch.
