Wanganui Collegiate School Celebrates 100th Anniversary

Easter celebrations marked the 100th Anniversary of the opening of this School which—though started in 1854—was established earlier by a Crown grant (through the energies of Sir George Grey and Bishop Selwyn) in 1852.

Victoria has been fortunate to have had, firstly as undergraduates and later as graduates of the College, numerous men from Wanganui Dr. A. G. Bogle. Director of the Dominion Physics Laboratory, his brother G. S. Bogle. L. T. Evans, and in 1952 D. B. Horsley, all of whom were Rhodes Scholars from V.U.C., are among the more distinguished Old Boys who in recent years have made their contribution to this College.

"Salient" extends her congratulations to the School for its achievements over the past hundred years and joins with the, retiring headmaster who in his last report to the School, said "Floreal Wanganui."
