Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 12. June 28, 1939

[Introduction]

When reporting College meetings, it has been "Salient's" policy to encourage not verbatim reports of, but interesting comments on, those meetings, and the results of this policy have, we think, been appreciated by readers. We are not running a school magazine, a weekly collection of gossip and funny stories, or a pulp magazine—we are endeavouring to produce an organ of enlightened student opinion. However, in view of the fact that at the Annual Meeting of the V.U.C.S.A. mention was made of "one-eyed reports" by a member of the dissentient minority, and as the sole control of "Salient" for the next two issues has been handed over to the leader of that minority, the report appearing below is merely a plain and unvarnished record of events at the meeting.

We would advise all students to peruse the report carefully, as the meeting was one of the most important in the history of Victoria College. The undercurrents are deep, and the issues are fundamental.

We are afraid that readers will, on this occasion, have to decide the truth of the matter themselves. For once "Salient" is displaying Impartiality, and it will need an effort on your part to discover the Truth.
