Hello From Hercus

I am very pleased to have this opportunity to extend a welcome to all new students coming to Victoria in 1960.

Victoria University of Wellington is now a university in its own right, and with this change of status we have received new responsibilties befitting a university. During 1960 you will have the pleasure of seeing our new Student Union Building taking final shape, and indeed have the privilege of being the first students to enjoy the facilities and benefits of this magnificent new building.

During your stay here I very much hope that your interests will go well beyond the lecture room and that you will take your part in the activities of a few of the 50 student clubs, in the Easter and Winter Tournaments, and in some of the numerous Capping activities.

J. D. A. Hercus,

President, Students' Association.
