Biology Party Visits Massey

On Saturday, 14th, a party from the Biological Society paid a visit to Massey Agricultural College. They observed something of the research work that is being done there in biology.

Many lecturers gave resumees of the work in their respective departments—parasitology, biochemistry, genetics, and horticulture. From the lecturer in genetics we learned that the best pigs to breed were of brown colour, the reason being that brown is pleasing to the farmers eye! And he a scientist!

During the afternoon two women members of the party were observed disappearing into the Men's Hostel—ardent biologists we presume.

Massey lived up to its usual standard of hospitality by providing afternoon tea and free transport to and from Palmerston North station. Fifteen or sixteen degree students from Massey will visit Victoria for a weekend later in the year.

The trip as a whole was most enjoyable. The only inconvenience was due to the reserved carriage from Wellington being full on the arrival of the party at the home station. An aristocratic and bemonocled member of the party cleared the carriage.
