Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 7 April 27, 1938

For Debutantes

For Debutantes

If you want to be well received, lose no opportunity for exalting the virtues upon which society is based—attachment to wealth, pious sentiments, and especially resignation on the part of the poor, which latter is the very foundation of order, Proclaim that the origins of property—nobility and police—should be treated with all the respect these institutions deserve. Make it known that you admit the supernatural when it presents itself.

On these conditions you will succeed in good society.

—Anatole France.
