The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1945

5. Progress

5. Progress.

Over the last year or two there has been a determined attack on the whole question of the building which can be traced direct to the work of Mr. G. F. Dixon. He is so eager to see the building up that he has himself arranged for surveys of the site, both on foot and from the air; he has interested old students and citizens throughout the district in the Building, and he has even arranged, at his own expense, for the preparation of draft plans of a possible building for the site he has championed. The greater part of Mr. Dixon's spare page 43 time has for a long while been devoted solely to this building and if we had had ten old students like Mr. Dixon the foundations might have been in by now, had materials been available.

Because of the controls on building, any proposal of this sort must be apportioned a place in the Five Year Plan of the Commissioner of Works, but it is understood that permission to build could be given by the time we are ready to commence.

At present our first task is to raise the necessary money.
