Scholarships.
"For they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night."
—Longfellow.
Those who have found reason, (inadequate, we must protest), to disapprove of the doings of Victoria College in certain non-scholastic directions, will no doubt be gratified—though possibly surprised—to observe that when the time comes for the distribution of academic honours we are not the least among our brethren.
Winners of Senior Scholarships this year were:—Frances E. Rainforth (Latin), A. C. Keys (Greek), Jean H. Mather (English—Tinline), A. E. Campbell (Education), D. J. Donald (Philosophy), F. W. G. White (Physics), R. A. Robbie (History—Special), I. J. Cunningham (Chemistry—Special Scholarship).
The Jacob Joseph Scholarship was awarded to Mr, E. Beaglehole, M.A.
The Sir George Grey Scholarship was won by Mr. R. M. Dolby, and the Lissie Rathbone Scholarship by Miss Peggie Metson.
Dr. Hilda G. Heine, M.A., our new Lecturer in Economics, in addition to all her previous successes, has now carried off a Sarah Anne Rhodes Fellowship.
Mr. E. Beaglehole, M.A., and Mr. F. G. Spurdle, M.A., have been awarded Post-Graduate Scholarships in Arts; Free Passages have also been granted them. They bothproceed Home early in August, to study at the University of London.
In addition to this, Mr. E. Beaglehole has won a National Research Scholarship.
"Spike" hastens to bestow heartiest congratulations on one and all.
Rhodes Scholar.
The Rhodes Scholarship this year was awarded to Mr. J. Platts-Mills, who has just completed his L.L.B. Mr. Platts-Mills has always taken a keen interest in College activities and besides being on the Committee of the Students' Association, has been an ardent supporter of the boxing, Football and Debating Clubs, not to mention the Haeremai!
We offer him our warmest congratulations.
The Tournament.
It is regretted that a full report of the Easter Tournament could not appear in this issue of Spike. The tournament delegates report, however, that owing to delay on the part of those responsible for the boxing and the shooting sub-reports, it has been impossible for them to complete their full report in time for this number. In the hope, therefore, of ultimately obtaining the two reports not yet handed in, they consider it advisable to defer publication of their review of the tournament until the September issue of Spike.
