Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 11, No. 8. July 14, 1948

Let There be Light

Let There be Light

Dear Sir,—

The Biology Block has as many lights—fluorescent, of course—as it has square yards of sound deadening floor covering and window space. As I recall it this same block once had ordinary lighting, much better than any other part of the college but still ordinary lighting.

Now will someone please explain to me why it is that the rest of the college has to endure such outmoded, inefficient and inadequate lighting as it does? If the lighting can be improved in the Biology Block why not throughout the college?

If there must be economy about the college then let it be a neglected law, let the present overcrowded Caf continue, but at least save us from glasses and eyestrain.

At the beginning of the year Mother of Ten had some suggestions published in Salient, most of which were either ignored or forgotten or not noticed. Perhaps Salient could persuade the powers-that-be—if they be—that working in poor light is not a good thing.
