. . . Hope, Charity.

So far our leaders on the Executive have given no indication that the Students' Association is going to make a contribution to the Children's Health Camp Fund.

Admittedly, our time has been fully occupied with Tournament and Capping, and it may be said that all that now remains is the wreckage and the annual academic argument with the Prof. Board as to whether students are to get drunk decently, as the P.B. suggests, or indecently, according to the wishes of the students themselves.

To return to the matter in hand, we have a Building Fund which grows very slowly with all our own efforts, and if it is to grow faster we must have the sympathy and support of the people of Wellington. One obvious way of doing this is to stop thinking of ourselves for a while, to "he big." Charity if it begins at home, as in our case, usually ends there.

There are two things to be done. The Executive must give a substantial donation to the general fund, and the permission of the City Council must be obtained to hold a collection in town one day during lunch hour. This collection could be carried out in fancy dress, various small "stunts" could be arranged, and it would do far more for the College than our procession ever did. If the Executive moves quickly, for very little are ranging will be needed, the appeal could be made on Capping Day, and would provide a fitting conclusion to the fine impression made by the Extravaganza, but even if the notice is too short for that, there is no need to shelve the proposal.
