Russia Mourns

Russia Mourns

It is with regret that we have to record the death of Mr. George Fineley Dixon. C.B.E. a life member of this association. Three times president, founder of the Easter Tournament, the Victoria Capping ceremony, and the V.U.C. athletics club. He was the president of the Harrier Club for over twenty years. The last time he addressed a V.U.C. audience, at last Easter Tournament, he said that he hoped to be at the next. We are sorry that he will not be.

We also have to record the death of Marshal J. V. Stalin. Whatever verdict history passes it will not be doubted that he was a great man, and one who did much for the Russian people. As such we pay tribute.
