Auckland's Capping book, edited by R. M. Smith, was not intended to be funny this year. The publication contained "reports" by students on "various aspects of adult conduct in the city." These findings included four photographs of an "all male wedding." The material proposed was passed by the advisory censor, Professor R. P. Anschutz, Dean of the Arts Faculty, and was in the hands of the printer.

At this stage Mr. Frankovich. it is alleged, ordered the photographs to be omitted from the Capping book after referring them to the college authorities. The college authorities, since the appointment some years ago of an advisory censor, have no jurisdiction over Capping book, which is entirely the responsibility of the Students' Association.
