Congress Report
Congress Report
Mr. Dowrick, the vice-chairman, read a report on the progress made by the Congress Committee. Among the speakers who had arranged to come were Mr, H. C. D. Somerset, to speak on the University and the Community; Mr. Bertram, Mr. Pliscke, Mr. A. J. D. Barker and [unclear: several] others.
A discussion followed on the entries to Congress. From Otago 31 people had applied, 30 from Victoria, 18 from AUC and 10 from CUC.
Mr. Tizzard (AUC) stated that the £2 required with the entry form had decided a number against it, as they objected to making their plans so far ahead. He also remarked that the "rules" referred to in the application form were upsetting some people, but with Mr. Dowrick's assurance that early morning swims were not required he seemed relieved.
