Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 19, No. 10. September 10, 1955
[Introduction]
Victoria University College, supposed to be the intellectual centre of Wellington, is anything but that. We have a reputation for being Communists, good footballers, undesirable characters, potent beer-drinkers, and on Capping day, a public nuisance.
The general public calls us worthless scoundrels who waste the taxpayers money; and they are right. All we do is look like eccentrics, behave as if we owned the country, and sling off at the Government. Anyone can do that.
