University Club.

This Club, membership of which is open to any man of the age of 23 years or over who is either a Graduate or a Past Student or a present student of the University of N.Z. or of any recognised University, is continuing its activities and is filling a long felt want and a very useful purpose by bringing together University men of all various walks of life. The membership is steadily increasing and the Club numbers among its members, Graduates and Past Students of very many different Universities in this and other countries.

The main activity of the Club up to the present, apart from the provision of very comfortable Club rooms at 98 Customhouse Quay, has been the holding of periodical luncheoms, at each of which some distinguished member is asked to speak. In this way the Club has entertained (among others) Sir Robert Stout, Sir James Allen. Sir Francis Bell (all of whom are now members of the Club) and Mr. W. L. Lowrie, the American Consul. In future luncheoms will be held monthly on the last Thursday of the month.

Recently Mr. J. M. A. Ilott, a Vice-President of the Club, delivered a most interesting and enjoyable lecture in the Club Rooms on "Etchings." The lecture wass illustrated by a large number of very fine slides and by examples of famous etchings from Mr. Ilott's own collection. It is the intention of the Club to hold similar gatherings in the Club Rooms during the winter months.

When the membership of the Club increases sufficiently, it is intended to provide further facilities, such as Luncheon Rooms, Billiard Table, etc.

Any members of the College who desire to join the Club should get in touch with the Hon. Sec., Mr. H. McCormick, 131 Featherston Street, (Phone 45-978).
