Promotion.

The Right Hon. J. G. Coates, M.P., has risen in the estimation of Victoria, and we dare look shortly for substantial justification of this opinion. On Thursday, 17th June, Mr. R. M. Campbell, M.A., LL.B., was appointed to be a private secretary to the Prime Minister. The nature of the post and the method of making the appointment are such that no inconsiderable distinction attaches to our fellow-student's promotion. Three or four of the important College executives have lost their most energetic member, and every progressive cause in University life will miss an enthusiastic and untiring worker. We humbly tender our congratulations and stand in awe with admiration and envy.
