After the 1948 "Finals" 40 University and Training college students arrived in Masterton and remained there for eight days. This visit was the culmination of months of preparation and for the short time spent in the town much was accomplished. Contact was made with a great variety of people who were interested in every aspect of tertiary education in the Victoria University district.
By means of men's and women's rallies, visits to all secondary and intermediate schools, daily services taken by students in the various churches, a Rotary luncheon and friendships made with host and hostesses, the team was able to inform many people of university and training college affairs and in turn learn something of the activities of a rapidly expanding community,
The Mission of Goodwill was undertaken because members of the SCM felt that they should witness to their belief to the Lordship of Christ which interprets every phase of human activity and which alone can meet the needs of this world. It is a characteristic of all branches of the World Student Christian Federation that they are prepared to work and witness outside the walls of their college as well as within them, and so the SCM in Wellington took its message to Wanganui, in 1947. and to Naenae and to Masterton in 1948 and will again move outside the university in November of this year.
