Political Science Department

The Political Science Department at Victoria this year has been fortunate in having the services of Dr. R. W. Gregg, a Fulbright Scholar from the United States. Dr Gregg is associate professor of political science at Wake Forest College, Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Gregg has been lecturing to Political Science II at Victoria on government in the United States, and later in the year he will go to Canterbury. Vic is the only varsity in the country to offer Political Science to honours level. He will be returning to Vic. in time for Finals.

Dr. Gregg could be classed as a Liberal in American politics. His views on many current issues coincide with those who consider themselves progressives by New Zealand standards. He has been active against segregation in his adopted state of North Carolina (he hails originally from New York), and in fact was the recipient of threatening 'phone calls by segregationists.

A friendly and likeable personality, Dr Gregg is a lucid and interesting lecturer. Those who have known him and benefited from his lectures can only regret that his stay will not be longer.
