Historians Will Join the Rush To Form Societies

Historians Will Join the Rush To Form Societies

Even those history students who like hearing about responsible government in Canada, the Augsleich, and other, fascinating subjects must occasionally have a few thoughts about some of the broader aspects of history not stipulated for study by the University of NZ prescription. To cater for the needs and interests of students in this direction, it has been decided to form a Historical Society. The intention is to hold a varied programme of activities of interest to historians, including the philosophy of history, discussions on certain books, and lectures by experts in particular fields. Of course the society will in no way be confined to history students; it is felt that there must be many outside the history department who will be eager to participate in these discussions.

Although it is fairly late in the year it was thought best to complete the preliminary details for such a society now, and get away to a flying start next year. Accordingly the inaugural meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 6, when the proposed constitution will be discussed, and a committee elected, before Prof. Wood speaks on the idea of History.
