We look back once again on a hectic Capping week which will take an honoured place among the Capping celebrations of other years.

Doubtless Procesh was patchy and the progress through the streets too hurried but it was as well organised as time would allow, and it was the longest for many years. Further-more, the speeches in the Post Office Square were excellent and well received by a very large crowd. The Revue was, as Prof. Rankine Brown described it, very good in parts—like the curate's egg. We have no hesitation in saying that the majority opinion is in favour of a return to the short plays. The Undergrads' Supper was possibly the best on record, and both the "sedate" functions, the Ceremony and Ball, were well organised and most successful.

The most important aspect of Capping, 1935, was the spirit and enthusiasm which were shown by a large body of the undergraduates, headed by the Haeremai Club and Weir House, who certainly deserved all the fun they had in the revelry. The flour-bomb hooley at the Ceremony was very well disciplined, though a trifle monotonous after the third outburst; while, with one or two exceptions, the stunts which were arranged for each night of the Extrav. certainly merited the praise they have received. They succeeded in amusing both themselves and the public which has been rightly suggested as the duty of students at Capping.

Some justifiable criticism has been levelled at this year's Capping, and a number of examples appear in this issue. Outside criticism has, generally speaking, been fair, but one observation on Procesh requires an answer. We were told in the press that it should be better prepared and organised Our reply is that it is not keenness which is lacking nor organisation, but lack of time and facilities. If, for instance, all employers allowed those taking part a longer time off, if we could obtain lorries more cheaply, if we were not hurried through the streets, then Procesh would be one hundred per cent better. Some of our city fathers and some of our employers should see a Capping Procession in Dunedin, where the students receive the Freedom of the City for the day and where they receive co-operation from every branch of the community.
