Commerce Students' Society

Commerce Students' Society

It has been felt for some time that Commerce students at V.U.C. have lacked the unity of feeling and of interest that for so long has characterised the activities of law students and those taking a science course. Recognition of the value of Commerce students to the University life has been long in coming, mainly owing to the fact that a portion of the prescribed course is not included in the University curriculum, and lectures in these subjects must perforce be taken extra-murally. Much and undoubted benefit would, therefore, accrue if Commerce students had a Club or Society within the Students' Association—a Society which would consider their interests and sustain their enthusiasm for 'Varsity life during those bleak years when a single subject was their temporary connection with V.U.C.

Such a Society could stage debates, arrange lectures, and by working in with the Accountants' Students' Society, keep the aspirant B.Com in touch both with his University and his future profession. In after years such a Society might well be the connecting link between Commerce graduates and their Alma Mater.

With this Society in view, therefore, several of the older Commerce students are making this preliminary announcement in the hope that others may be enthused in the same cause and assist in the work of forming the new Society as soon as 'Varsity commences next year. Suggestions and a measure of active co-operation are invited from all Commerce students.
