The Association's annual report referred to the loss of Mr. D. M. Burns, almost immediatedly after his election as President, and to the numbe of changes in resident and corresponding members. The Association had appointed Mr. L. E. Moller, late of Otago University as its London representative in order that the Association might derive benefits from its affiliation to the International Confederation of Students additional to the existing travel concessions.

A motion that the annual levy paid by colleges to the association be raised from £1 to £2 per 50 members, was moved by Mr. McGhie (Victoria), and seconded by Mr. W. G. Thurston (Massey). The motion was opposed by Canterbury and Auckland, and after some discussion it was decided to increase the levy to 25/- this year, rising to 30/- next year.

A new Consittution was adopted after considerable discussion, mainly on the proposed centralisation of the Association's headquarters at Victoria. Canterbury and Otago voting against the motion sponsored by Victoria and seconded by Massey. As the Association's headquarters follow the Tournament rota as before, headquarters will be at Canterbury until Easter, 1937, with Mr. R. M. Young, President of the C.U.C. Association and Miss M. Billens, C.U.C. Women's Vice-President, respectively President and Secretary of the N.Z. Association.

A successful meeting terminated with votes of thanks to the retiring executive, special reference being made to the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. McGhie, to whose efforts it was largely due that the Association had continued to grow in influence during the past year.
