Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 21, No. 1. March 13, 1958

[Introduction]

I am a man of peace. I hate arguments: they raise my blood pressure. There is no surer way of buying an argument than comparing the students of today with those of the past, especially if one's theme is the decadence of the present generation. To try to pass off one's comments as merely an objective account of the facts is useless when addressed to readers trained to question both our objectivity and one's facts. Let me therefore offer some subjective impressions. From this retreat I may be as impervious to criticism as L. D. Austin.
