SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 16.

Good Luck!

Good Luck!

A. E. Fieldhouse (James MacIntosh Scholarship) and Don McElwain (Post-graduate Scholarship in Arts) provide this year's quota from V.U.C. to the "export of brains" trade. Both will have left before the next issue of "Smad" so we take this opportunity of wishing them. the very best of luck.

Fieldhouse will leave on July 31 with the All Blacks, for the Institute of Education in London, where he will take a Ph.D. in Education, with special reference to music. He has been teaching at King's college this year.

Don McElwain.

Don leaves on August 9 on the Marama for Sydney, whence he will proceed by the Maloja to London—the University of London and a Ph.D. in Psychology. Coming to Victoria with a B.A. at the beginning of last year, he took an active part in all student affairs, sporting and academic-debating. Free Discussions Club, football blue, athletics—through the whole gamut or diapason or whatever the relevant metaphor may be. He is also the first Weir House man to travel on a scholarship, so in his old age, perhaps, he will toddle back something of an old original. As a special treat to readers, he has promised us some impressions from Sydney under the conditional title. "Sea-sick in the Tasman," to be followed by "Moving Moments in the Atlantic" and "London Through the Looking-glass."

Bridge Eveing.

The bridge evening held in aid of the Women's Common Room funds, last Saturday evening, was a highly successful function. The players were warned that the bridge would be progressive, and it certainly did progress favourable. Charlie Plank claimed to be the best player because by some means, he finished with the highest score, and was duly presented with a new pack of cards (not Woolworths'). But we doubt how this verdict will be received in the Men's Common Room. Until supper the play continued feverishly Hilda Hurley was the presiding genius, while Malcolm seemed to do most of the talking. His activities culminated in carrying the trays of hot sausage rolls for supper, which Dick Simpson and McGhie distributed with the deft touches that only an experienced waiter can exhibit. After supper Chinese bridge Grab and Pelmanism took the place of bride, and the evening concluded as merrily as it had begun.

To Love

Come away, love, come away;

Flee these dull hours

And walk with me in fairyland.

O'er mountain and glen, by river and lea,

Through thicket and copse, I shall lead you.

Come away, love; come with me.

Though these we flee be rich, love,

None more rich than thee.

Though these the spirit of life, love,

What spirit is fairer than thee?

On the edge of the forest sweeping

Far out beyond our eyes

Lie now Elysian fields.

Come away, love; come with me.
