Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 11, No. 1. March 17th. 1948

[Introduction]

In a matter of days now our representatives in the various Easter Tournament sports will be sailing for Christchurch en route to Dunedin to uphold the good name of Victoria and we wish them every success. Our chances are about the same as usual but hopes for a very good time are held by all.

Easter Tournament is considerably more than a coming together in combat of sporting giants from the various Colleges. We do not compete "for the sake of a ribboned coat" nor yet entirely for "honour and glory"; in fact, it would be difficult to find a student, out of the hundreds who will be present, for whom this is the only aspect. Tournament is for each exactly what he likes to make it and will be remembered by different students for very different highlights.

Our Tournament delegates Pip Piper (senior) and Geoff Ward (junior) have put in a great deal of time on the very necessary administrative side of Tournament. These background workers are too often forgotten in the flurry of the purely sporting side of Tournament. Other non-sports personnel proceeding to Dunedin are the N.Z.U.S.A. delegates, for a conference, and the News and Sports Editors of this paper who are attending a Press Conference held in conjunction with Tournament.
