The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October 1905

They that Walk in Darkness

page 59

They that Walk in Darkness.

In view of the fact that several members of the College Council—among them the Attorney-General and a leading lawyer—were not quite sure as to what "Experimental Psychology" was, or why apparatus was needed and that the Council decided against regarding Higher Mathematics as a science subject, The Spike would suggest that the Professors might give lectures to Councillors, couched in popular terms to be understand of the people, on subject coming under discussion by the Council. The editor of one country paper was so moved by the thought of such ignorance in our educational leaders that he devoted a lengthy leader to the discussion of the question. If our scheme were adopted members would come to the meetings so primed with useful information as to render a recurrence of the sad affair impossible. At the commencement of the course it might be advisable to limit the length of each lecture to an hour and a-half, which could be increased as the course went on.
