The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, June 1928

Science Society

Science Society

The first meeting of this society was held on Wednesday, the 28th of March, when Professor Hunter gave a very interesting lecture on Evolution—illustrated by lantern slides. The Professor dealt briefly with the biological side of the subject; then went into more detail on the cultural aspect.

On the 19th of April, the annual general meeting of the Society was held in the Physics lecture room, 73 members being present. The following officers were elected for the year.

President: Mr. E. F. Northcroft; Vice-President: Miss Mason; Secretary-Treasurer: Mr. Uniake; Committee: Miss Plank; Messrs. Steele, Chamberlain, Ketko.

On the 2nd of May, Mr. H. G. Miller, M.A., delivered a most interesting lecture on "Plato's New Zealand Republic." He informed us that the New Zealander never grew up, being fostered throughout life by a maternal Government. The legal fraternity were also dealt a few sharp jabs.

The Society's Annual Dance was held this year on Friday, the 25th of May. The attendance was not extraordinarily large, but all those who were present seemed to enjoy themselves thoroughly.

This year a Lunch-Time Club was formed for the entertainment of those Science students who spent that hour at the college. Games of all sorts were arranged and a dancing class started.
