Have You Been Introduced to Your Fellow Students?

Though you he an absolute stranger to every other student in the College, we want You, if only for that very reason, to make a special point of attending the

Victoria College

Students' Association Annual Capping Carnival and Graduates' Supper to be given in the Sydney Street Schoolroom, on the 29th instant, in honour of the Graduates of the year. Each one of the 378 students now attending lectures at out College doubtless

Duty

of all to attend. If You have not been to a previous one, come this time. If you Have been before—well, we shall expect you again!

Ask About It! Think About It! Talk About It! But Don't Forget About it!
