Wild and Weir.

In the general discussion, Mr. Roeasked for the substance of a motion passed at Weir House concerning the Capping Ceremony. This produced some lively and useless discussion until Mr. Wild came and explained the whole situation; even then, however there was much wild talk. Motions, amendments and negative motions followed one after the other, and out of the chaos it appeared Mr. McGhie had proposed a motion of no-confidence in the Chairman, and also Mr. Blackley proposed a vote of censure on Mr. Keating for insinuating that Weir House was not a representative part of the University, pointing out the large attendance of Weir men at the meeting.

The meeting closed after arranging for a Haka party for the Tournament at Easter-periodic practices to be held in the Weir House Gymn. to ensure that every-one knows the hakas-and to collect sundry pennies for expenses and charity

Mr. Patterson appears to be making a hobby of collecting degrees, having gained honours in both M.A. and M.Sc. Some of his mathematics marks are almost unintelligible to an ordinary student of the subject.

Mr. Brown's record is too well-known to need repeating. After twice being nominated for a Rhodes Scholarship it is fitting that he should have been awarded a Travelling Scholarship. Mr. Brown has taken a prominent part in various College activities and for the last two years has been on the staff of "Smad," as General Editor in 1934 and Literary Editor in 1935. Although not officially on the staff this year, his helpful advice and kindly criticism have been greatly appreciated.
