The Prof. Replies.

Our anticipation of an interesting reply from Professor Williams was not disappointed; two stories evidencing the parochialism of New Zealanders being part of our fare. He recounted that he had been met by the following remark from an Aucklander. "I am glad you were appointed to that position. When are you taking ship to Melbourne?" And also, "I five to seven years you may learn something of the elements of the law, but I can't picture you ever teaching English."

His listeners recognised the earnestness of the Professor's hope to be able to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, and we assure him that his students will loyally extend to him the support, help and co-operation he requested for the full success of his efforts.
