The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1934

Science Society
As in the past years a number of lectures of general interest, even to those with only an elementary knowledge of science, were given under the auspices of the Science Society.
The first of these was the Presidential Address by Mr. J. A. D. Nash. This was followed at approximately fortnightly intervals by lectures on the various aspects of "Evolution." These were delivered to quite large audiences by Mr. G. A. Peddie, Mr. L. C. King, Professor Kirk, Dr. A. B. Wildman and Dr. I. L. G. Sutherland.
The annual football match between Chemistry-Biology and Physics-Maths, held on Athletic Park on August 1st resulted in a draw, 8 all. A really classical game of rugby was provided for those spectators who managed to reach the ground on time. After the match Professor Kirk descended from the stand and presented the cup to the holders—Physics-Maths.
The Society conducted two visits to the "Evening Post" and on both occasions the parties were too large. Much data and information was obtained and much pleasure derived in being able to walk away with a free paper which one had seen in the process of being printed.
