... another grows

A New scheme of associate membership has been instituted at Victoria House. A Payment of Membership Fee of £1 entitles the associate member to meals at reduced rates and use of the hostel for study, coffee-making and other social activities.

There are about 12 members at present and Miss Hislop, the Hostel Warden, who devised the system in co-operation with University Chaplain John Murray, thinks that the scheme is working well enough at present for it to continue until a capacity number is reached.

Other hostels in Wellington and other centers have shown an interest in similar schemes which give students who live at a distance from the campus an extended opportunity to participate in university life.
