Half Blues.

A motion for the granting of half blues to players who are not quite good enough to be awarded a blue, or to clubs which by their activities do not enable a person to quality for a blue in the same degree as an important club does, was moved by the Secretary.

Mr. Wild, opposing the motion, declared that it was a question of fixing a standard and that a half-blue was no compensation for not reaching the standard. (Applause.)

Mr. Sellers ingenuously asked what form would the half-blue take—a half a blazer, or one trouser leg, etc.?

Mr. Roberts suggested that blue be changed to pink.

Mr. Sansum suggested that some confusion with Oxford and Cambridge and our College had arisen. (Applause.)

Mr. McGhie then replied and the motion was put and lost.

The retiring President then declared that he wished to convey thanks to all those members of the College who have assisted the College and stressed the need for co-operation. "Critcism is one of the best spurs to action, but it should be constructive. I consider this Association owes a very great debt to the Secretary. (Loud applause.) Naturally he comes in for a lot of criticism. As President I had only to say what is the position and I knew that every machinery provision was in order."
