Multifarious Activities
Auckland's student population now stands at 3,940—1,743 full-time students and 2,197 part-time, according to the report of the A.U. Students' Association.
A.U.'s Capping Week was again successful, with about 18,000 Capping Books being sold.
"In general, Capping with all its multifarious activities, seems to be getting larger and more business-like every year. Fortunately, owing to the increase in the student roll, the Students' Association no longer has to depend to such a great extent on a profit from its activities."
Both the Government and the University authorities appear determined to use the valuable four-acre Government House grounds as "a sort of breathing space for students and staff. Professor Matthew, of Edinburgh University, recently appointed Consultant Architect, is at present conferring with the University authorities and the architects on a new block plan.
A committee of staff and students is to investigate the establishment of a non-profit bookshop in the University grounds to stock set books and advanced texts.
