Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 25. No. 13. 1962

Hugh Williams

Hugh Williams

"I must say at the outset, that I am not very fond of the University." This unequivocal statement, by Mr Hugh Williams, solicitor, and Chairman of the Law Faculty club, was further qualified.

"Any student, who intends studying for a professional degree, and who has hopes of gaining comradeship and culture from the University, can scrap those ideas from the outset Victoria is nothing more than a degree factory."

He has applied for a scholarship which will enable him to advance his studies at Oxford University. If this hope does not eventuate, Mr Williams may study for his Masters degree at Victoria. He plans to be "just an ordinary practising lawyer."

Mr Williams, who is completing his barrister examinations, is a Wellington College Old Boy. He gained V.U. blues for his place in the university 1st XV, four times, and in those years was a Wellington Rugby representative player. He interrupted his football career a year, for the sake of his studies, and resumed this year.

He plays all other sports that he "can get his hands on."
