Editorial

Those of us who stray sometimes into the land of dreams must feel, now and then, that the College and the University in general are not fulfilling a destiny worthy of the men we have sent out into the world. We look on the University too much as a means of getting a good position in affairs of the world, too little as a national institution, capable of exerting a great influence itself, and worthy of a great reverence.

We cannot, of course, for many years win the hallowed antiquity of an old English University. At the same time, we do not live in an old country like England, and it does not seem altogether unreasonable to think that we might take a bolder part in our national life. We represent on the whole, by circumstances and temperament, that part of the communi-ty which has some regard for the higher things of life; coming from all social classes, in the artificial sense, we have oppor-tunities of touching more varied sympathies than the average citizen. Yet, so far as the general public is concerned, outside a narrow educational sphere, we might as well not exist.

It is objected that not only as an institution but as indi-viduals we are young and inexperienced. " Leave it to the business men," is a common cry. But perhaps our youth and lack of worldly experience is not altogether a disadvantage in a country whose greatest danger surely lies in commercialism and utilitarianism. We are young, but perhaps in some ways old enough to realise the glory of youth, when the wings of our aspirations are fresh and vigorous in their first splendour, and we soar in bright golden mists between heaven and earth. Too soon a fog of smoke and soot will dull our vision and burden our wings and defoul the pure air we breathe in youth. If we spoke more boldly sometimes, our voice would not be listened to by many; but perhaps we might wake some echoes that would grow stronger in the hills of time. At present our silence seems to give consent.

3

For we do practically nothing in the social and public life of the country whose destiny we are helping to shape. Oc-casionally, at the request of some organisation, the Students' Association passes a formal resolution and forwards it to a Minister at whose hands it shares the inevitable fate of such recommendations. Even the Social Service League, by which alone we kept touch with current social problems, seems to have been forgotten. Happily, something is being done to re-vive it; this is referred to elsewhere in the KIWI. Such have been our efforts in the past.

For the future—of course it is an ideal and we are never likely to realise it fully. But if we cannot reach others, we can at least act in the same direction within our College, a step which in any case would be the first and might lead to something greater. We must develop a College spirit, which rests not in a certain notoriety for irresponsible or unusual conduct, but in a tradition of sane, consistent living based on high ideals. We have a tradition of this kind in the field of sport, and it is recog-nised outside the College. Why should we not extend it to a wider sphere? The War has taken practically all our senior members, but it has also intensified our perception of the deeper problems of life. Could we not try to prepare the way for a larger growth, when the War will be over and it will surely not be unduly optimistic to expect the fulfilment of great hopes; for perhaps, nowhere outside the University will contact remain among large bodies of men who have been together through the great experience and trial of war.

Past Numbers of the Kiwi

We are endeavouring to complete, if possible, three files of all numbers of the Kiwi. One is practically complete, and is to be placed in the Public Library, Auckland, at the request of the City Librarian. We wish to make at least two other files, one for the College Library, and one for the Students' Association and Kiwi Committee. We should be most pleased if past students would send any old numbers of the Kiwi they have, and thus help to preserve one of the few tangible records of College life. If copies are forthcoming they will probably be suitably bound to preserve them in good condition. Any surplus copies will be returned to the senders.

Roll of Honour

Since the publication of our Roll of Honour in last year's issue, nearly 150 names have been added to it. We regret to have to record that 31 more of our men have made the supreme sacrifice, bringing our list of fallen up to 60 out of 551 on Active Service. 51 have been wounded during the year, the total num-ber of wounded being now 85. There have been many promo-tions and honours won. The fact that one D.S.O., one D.C.M., twelve M.C.'s and four M.M.'s have been earned speaks for itself.

The task of keeping the Roll up-to-date has been no light one. The work was carried on mainly by Mr. L. J. Comrie till his departure for camp at the end of last year. F. W. Baxter, J. A. Kyd, W. T. G. Airey, J. K. S. Hall and A. J. Grigg have had charge of various phases of the work during the year, while Corporal Comrie, who is now on the Headquarter's Staff at Tau-herenikau, has rendered valuable assistance by supplying us with information concerning the addresses and promotions of men in Camp. The departure of most of this year's Roll of Honour Committee for camp has necessitated an application for assist-ance in the work being made to the College Council by the Student's Association. The Council, recognising the importance of the continuation of the work, and the labour involved, met the Association in a sympathetic and liberal spirit. They have ap-pointed Miss A. M. B. Butterfield as official compiler of the Roll, the Students' Association Committee still continuing to help in collecting information. The Council also made a liberal grant towards the expense of publishing the Roll in the KIWI. In last year's issue we published photos and careers of the fallen

5

besides the Roll and personal notes. We have this year obtained the photos of fallen men and had blocks made from them; and also collected particulars of their careers, but for financial rea-sons, and acting on the Council's advice, we have decided not to publish the photos and careers this year. At the end of the War a permanent and complete Roll of Honour will certainly be pub-lished, and it is thought advisable not to publish the photos and careers till then.

We feel sure the Roll of Honour will be of the greatest in-terest to all, and the Committee will be glad to furnish to any-one desiring it further particulars of the addresses of men on Active Service.

We are proud of the College Roll, and any work that we have done in connection with it has been a labour of love.

Leto Insignes Choosing rather death than submission

they fled only from dishonour and met danger face to face; and in one supreme moment of destiny and surpassing glory, they passed from life. For this their sacrifice they receiued an ageless renown, and that noblest of sepulchres, wherein their glory is laid up for everlasting remembrance. For heroes have the whole earth for their tomb, and in lands far from their own an epitaph unwritten save in the tables of the heart.

Our New Registrar

By the retirement of Canon Nelson the College has lost an old friend of whom many past students will have pleasant recollec-tions. His genial disposition and his happy reminiscences and anecdotes will be remembered by all who attended the College be-tween 1907 and 1917, the period of his registrarship. We wish him a complete enjoyment of his leisure years.

Early this year the Rev. A. B. Chappell was chosen to fill the vacant position. He was born at Portsmouth, England, in 1872, and came to New Zealand with his parents in 1881. In 1896 he matriculated at this College and later spent three years at Canter-bury University College. He graduated M.A. with 1st Class Honours in political science at the end of 1904. He was also an exhibitioner in mental science, and in 1915 was admitted to the Fellowship of the Royal Economical Society.

Mr. Chappell took a prominent part in the life of his Col-lege. He represented it in tennis and debating, twice being a member of the team to win the Joynt Challenge Shield. He was also a member of the Tournament Executive. Within the College he won the Dialectic Society's essay and speech contests.

During the last three years our registrar has been superin-tendent of the New Plymouth Methodist Circuit. He has also taken his part in civic life, being a member of the Taranaki Edu-cation Board and the New Plymouth Public Library Committee and the Museum Committee. Mr. Chappell played in the cham-pion senior eleven of the North Taranaki Cricket Association and was the founder and president of the New Plymouth Cricket Council.

Mr. Chappell has already shown that from the student's point of view he is thoroughly qualified for his new position. He lias taken an active interest in many of the College clubs, particu-larly in the Debating Society, for whom he has acted as judge; but he has not neglected the other clubs. Besides this, he has al-ways been anxious to get into touch with the feelings of students and to encourage a genuine College spirit. He has taken a sympa-thetic interest in the Roll of Honour and the Kiwi. When the College changes its quarters at the end of this year, Mr. Chap-pell's services should be even more valuable in setting the Col-lege on a new footing.

School of Architecture

Towards the end of the first term this year lectures in con-nection with the new School of Architecture were commenced at the University's Engineering Branch, Mr. F. M. Bamford was appointed Director and Lecturer on the art side and Mr. Ashley Hunter Lecturer on the practical side.

The course of lectures is exceedingly interesting and useful not only to those directly connected with the profession of archi-tecture, but also to those who may be interested in art generally. The history of architecture lectures, illustrated with lantern slides, would prove especially instructive to those following the history and development of the ages, for architecture may be treated as a branch, and a most attractive branch of historical re-search, either for the light that it casts upon the men and manners of past times or for the fascination that always attends the study of origin.

May it be urged here that the existence of these lectures be made more widely known so that more advantage may be taken of them. Then, perhaps, Architecture may find its true and pro-per place as a subject of popular interest, and Auckland may realise how fortunate she is in having the School established here.

An Old Tale that is coming out of all time

and all places; to Pagan and to Christian

A late summer afternoon, and Fraoch Eilean, the Heathery Isle, lay dreaming in the blue of western seas. From the brood-ing heights in the centre an eagle sailed silently into a clear sky, hovering and wheeling in undisturbed possession of those ancient crests. On the lower slopes a few sheep nibbled, moving, white

26

dots among the purple of the heather. On the western shore, in a little bay of smooth, hard, brown sand, a few seagulls ran back and forth on the edge of the advancing and retreating wash of the surf that rolled in from the west, or now and then rose, bod-bing on the surface as a larger wave came in. The dull moan of the surf seemed not to disturb the silence which held all things. The world seemed given up to the vast elemental powers; the babbling voices of nature were gone—the singing of birds, the changeful burbling of streams, the rustle of trees. Only the sea, the sky, the old, wind-worn hills, and the silent eagle a fit dweller among them. The pattering seagulls alone magnified by contrast the vastness and the stillness.

Into this atmosphere of hushed sublimity, over the base of the rugged headland that bounded the bay to the north, there moved one solitary human figure, a little child. He came as in a dream, with the slow drifting of a cloud, borne along on the mystery of the deep calm around him. Down on to the sand he came, his eyes, blue-grey, 011 the floating cloudlets, the sea-horizon, and anon on the coils of twisted, knotted kelp cast up on the smooth sand. So he dreamed the length of the beach and began to climb the southern boundary of the bay. It ended in a sheer, rock-cliff, about whose feet the long arms of kelp swirled and twined in the heaving, foam-patched swell. A stone's cast across the water rose a squared bastion of rock in whose caves the bil-lows echoed and roared, subsiding with a wearied, hushing sigh. No doubt it had once been the end of the cliff, but now the sea foamed and streamed between like some mountain torrent.

Up the headland scrambled the little dreamer, knowing not where he went. He stumbled now and then, times when a faint smile flickered across his face. He reached the top, and moved down towards the seaward end; but again he stumbled and this time fell. He did not rise; his rapt dreaming knew not of fal-lings. He was nursed by the wonder of the mysterious depths of the world about him. His loose, waving golden hair shone red in the sun as the cool west-wind stirred it; the deep dream was in his eyes, they saw and yet saw not. Out of the silence and the low rolling of the waves he seemed to hear voices chanting in an un-dertone. The sky, the sea, the earth seemed to sing; the clouds, the waves, the grasses moved and swung to divine harmony. Deep and passionate was the song in those blue eyes as they closed, and that golden head sank on the mosses. The wind out of the west stirred again, cool almost to chillness, and a flush overspread the child's cheek as the cool fingers of the wind played through his hair like an Angel's touch. Once again, a smile as of recognition

27

wavered and left the face serene. He could hear now, distinct out of the chant of the silence, the quiet singing of the wind; and the song entered his soul, which held it always, and would be singing it through his life so that others heard it, though they did not know it for the Song of the Winds. There were no words to that song; it spoke in the deep music of the soul; but this is what it meant.

"Little Wanderer of the sun-bright hair, it's a good gift I 'm bringing you from the soul of the world to your soul, Purity, the peace after strife. The best of the day's doings and the sin you'll be having will pass before it; and the cool, deep stillness will be on you, the way you had never known the wrong of the world— the dews of sleep will be on you heart-weary. The eyes of you will be quiet and deep, and the smooth, clear cheek of a child will be yours for the gift I'm bringing you, now and the days that are coming. Courage will rise from the breath of me; the tired heart of you will forget the days past, when you were weak, and failed. Sure mine are good gifts, Purity and Courage; and it was Love herself would be sending me."

The Song of the Wind faded and flew back to its home in the silence like the lark sinking to its nest in the heather. A moment there seemed a silence after that sweet dropping melody; but again out of the back of the stillness came that singing of the elements; deep and quiet it had been all the time. Still was the dream in those eyes as they opened slowly. Floated the soft, white clouds, melting and rolling on the edges, across the sky, a deeper blue that thrilled back into the singing space for those soft, white clouds that floated out of the west. Out of the west, where the sky paled and the sea lay in a long, clear, darkening line; out of the west the dark purple cloud-shadows, and the deep breathing of the sea. Faint was the murmur of it there, as the long, blue wave fell, and the wrhite foam went running up the dark, wet sand, and the next swell rising, dark blue and crested out of the smooth heaving that came out of the west. White the foam on the blue as the cloud in the sky; and still would the wave be swinging and pausing to the same melody as the floating cloud. Sure, the singing will be closing those blue eyes again, where sea and sky are fading now, and all is dream blue and white, with the dark purple shadows out of the west. And out of the deep music a sweet melody would be coming, pure, dropping notes like the sun-flash of a dove's wings in the blue; and afterwards that song was for the heaving, out of the soul that heard it then; but few knew it for the Song of the Sky. And this is the meaning that Sky-Song was having.

28

"Pure soul that look out from the blue eyes, it's Joy I 'm bringing you. And the song shall be in your heart and the smile on your lips for the deep blue of the heavens. The eyes of you will be shining and the happiness on your soul the way others will be glad of you, and they with the hard sin in their hearts. Singing the Song of Joy you'll be, from the peep of the morning till the red gold of the sun setting is on your hair, the warm Song of Joy from the sky, little dreamer of the blue-white dreams; and it was love would be sending me to sing the Song of the Sky."

And now it was the slow rolling of the waves, faint and con-tinuous, would be rising into a chant. Wild and beautiful it seemed, still and deep, to the soul that flew to meet it. This meaning was in the chanting of the waves.

" I t ' s out of the sea, out of the blue sea under the sun, and out of the grey sea with the clouds stooping over it, wonder and the deep silence are coming to you; coming like the creeping sea-mists out of the west. It's the deep gloom will be on you some-times for the great wonder that is round you, but other times it's the silent happiness you'll have. When you are with others, and they, talking the way there was nothing to hear but their own voices, sometimes you'll fall a-silent for the Song of the Seas that will be coming to you. And maybe they will be for laughing at you, but it's not troubling you it will be; and the wonder will be on them, too, when they see the look in the eyes of you; when you speak the singing of the seas will be in your voice, and you '11 not be thinking what you say, for the song will rise out of your heart. Humility I 'm bringing you out of the rolling waves. 0, pure soul of a child, be hearing the rolling waves the days when foolish thoughts and idle words will be coming to you! Be hearing the rolling waves and let the vanity of you be stilled, and the deep silence be on your soul! For it's little you can know except there's wonder and mystery in the birth of things, and there'll be wonder and mystery in the last breath. But knowing this, you'll have the wonder in the blue eyes of you, and wonder in the word of your lips till the great silence will be on you. And it's sent by Love I am, with the singing seas out of the silence, to be bringing you these gifts."

The voice of the sea was sinking into a quiet undertone, and a hushed moaning seemed to come out of the earth as the wind swept the heather; and it grew as the gusts eddied up the glens to the old hills. Out of the loneliness came the wild, solitary cry of a bird; little things stirred in the grass and the mosses. And now, out of the hills and the glens and the wild shore a sweet,

29

sad song seemed to be coming; the faint, far-off murmur of moun-tain streams, the lilting of birds by their nests, the low humming of bees in the heather, notes like the nodding and swaying of flowers in the wind. So would be rising the Chorus of Earth, and these were the things it was telling to the listening heart.

' ' It's no voice of my own I have, I the tired, worn earth; but the things I help will be speaking for me. You whose head is light on my breast with the golden hair twining in t h e dry, brown mosses, I gave you life, you and all the things of the earth, the birdeens, the wild creatures, the wee, tender flowers, the dark pines of the hills, and the lichens of the rock. So sympathy and gentleness will be in your heart. All things will be your brothers, and you '11 be forgiving the man that has done sin, and helping t h e one that ist weaker than yourself. And the big, gentle heart of you will be as the light in the home sheiling on a winter night to the tired souls around you. For it's not hurting a thing you'll be, but trusting everyone, kind soul among the children of t h e earth. And who but Love should be sending m e to give you the gentle heart."

A question rose in the soul that was throbbing for the sing-ing of the earth; and it sprang from the soul in song before the lips would be knowing it, "Who is Love? O where, where is Love?" Paused the waves, stopped the clouds in their floating, stilled were the winds, hushed the things of the earth. Then came the answer out of the silence, on the winds from the sky, from the sea, from the voices of the earth, first like the whisper of rain, rising, rising, flooding the space with melody, voices that fell like rainbow-flashing drops from the broken wave, or hung far up like twinkling stars in the night, or flew between like the sing-ing birds:

' ' Love is everywhere, and everywhere is Love; Love is everything, and everything is Love; The sun-ray on the sea, the wind to the flower, The deep gloom, the sadness of the heart, The soul of you and the soul of the world.''

The sun was at the setting when a woman, with the sad beauty of age and sorrow already in her face, came up the rough slope of the headland. She saw him there, she had found him at last, lying so still and quiet on the mosses. She ran towards him joyfully, when the sudden fear died in her heart. Yet the tear was in her eye for the beauty of him sleeping there, as she

30

stooped over him. "Son, son of mine," she murmured with the deep, sad voice, " i t ' s losing you would break my heart surely." The wind lifted his hair, a smile came on his lips, his eyes opened and looked out over the sea. The sun was sinking in light, red-gold mists. There was a passionate, silent calling in the deep purple of the SGctj 3 calling back to the clear line so mystic and far away in the west, where purple met gold. All the longing of the soul was there, the end of all dreaming, the heart's desire. 0, deep was the song in those eyes as they looked into the grey ones above, and the words came singing from the heart, "Sure, Muim' ghaoloiche, it was a true thing they were telling me. Love is everything, and Love is everywhere, mother of my love."

Day-Dreams, 1917

"Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that be-ing nothing, art everything!" As I sit in the silence and dim light of the old library, the charm of antiquity falls upon me. The volumes around me speak of antiquity, but it is another antiquity that is in my thoughts. It is a past conjured up by the sight of those old walls, built in the days when our state was young. I think of the far-off days when this was the seat of our country's Parliament, and I picture the solemn conclaves that met within these walls. I hear the bursts of oratory, the keen de-bates, and I revere the memory of those men who shaped the be-ginning of our country's destiny. But I see glories of the build-ing faded, its pride withered, its halls desolate. Anon I see it peopled with a new race, its glories restored, its pride revived, its halls resounding to the tramp of feet. It has become the home of learning for a city and a province. And now, as I sit dreaming, there pass in review before me the men and women to whom our old college has been Alma Mater. In every clime I see them, in every walk of life, taking their part in the work of the world— ay, in the forefront of our national life; doctors and divines, lawyers and politicians, scientists and business men, teachers and nurses.

31

I think, too, of those who on the battlefields of Europe and Asia are showing us the path of self-sacrifice, and as I picture the forms of those very gallant gentlemen who have offered the supreme sacrifice, my eyes are dimmed. How happy and joyous were the old College days for them! What comradeship they knew, what friendships they formed, what stimulating competi-tion there was amongst them in class-room and playing field, what high ideals they had, and with what ability and persever-ance, living up to our motto, ingenio et labore, they sought to realise them! Has the training of their College days been in vain? No, there could have been no more fitting test of their character, no nobler end than theirs. They have left us a glori-ous heritage—a heritage that will last for all time. We, who are now at College, have entered into possession of that heritage. It is ours—ours to preserve, and pass on still more glorious. It is not the building that makes the College, it is its men and women. Our building is old and ruinous, but we are proud of our College. We are looking forward to a new site and a worthy pile of build-ings in the future; but wherever we are, our traditions are with us always. We must preserve them, be proud of them, add to them. Think what our College has done in the past, and what it is doing for us! Remember it in the days to come when we leave this old building with its happy associations. Bear it in mind when we find a new and permanent home; uphold the traditions of our College in all its spheres of activity, and be true to its highest ideals of truth and right, nobility and steadfastness of purpose, broad-mindedness and self-sacrifice!

Cloud Gathering

The leaf-lorn trees stand spectre frail against the sky, The white moon floats like phantom ship at rest on high; From 'neath the hill the clouds arise, moon-silvered o'er, And rippling like the sea. As waves creep up the shore And steadily engulf the pebbles and the shells, The curling, cloudy ocean creeps and silent swells.

32

And one "by one engulfs the stars, then washes slow Beneath the moon that drifts a moment, next drops low Among the clouds, now black and blacker grows the night, And still, and quiet; the silence must the trees afright , That huddle in the mist. The coming storm soft breathes An eerie whisper through the fallen leaves.

Glimpses of West Africa Extracts from the letter of a former Editor of the "Kiwi."

The place was almost entirely black, the few whites—under 500, I think—living a couple of miles out of the town, and you could stroll round all day and not see a single white civilian, though occasionally even a white woman might be seen. The town was extraordinarily clean, even in the worst parts; this is the work of the doctors—they have had the streets (all un-metalled) properly drained—deep gutters on each side of the streets, and incinerators in nearly all the streets.

The natives are of all classes—many in native costume (not very elaborate), but a fair number of swells. It was particularly noticeable on Sunday, when everyone tried to impress—top hats and frock coats; one bird with spats even—on a frightfully hot day, too. Some of the men, black as sin, carry umbrellas to pro-tect them from the sun. The natives always carry their loads on their heads, and it was quite a common sight to see a woman carrying a bucket, full of water, balanced on her head. Even the tiny kiddies do it. I saw one chap with a closed umbrella lying across the top of his head.

For the first day or two we went about looking at all the things that were unusual to us—native shops, and stalls in the streets, a big market, rather high in odour, but very interesting. Curio-hunting naturally attracted us a great deal. The chief charm about it was beating them down—you could always count on 25 per cent, less than they asked, and in some cases even more. The Indians (there are a good many about) claimed one price for all, but they were just like the natives. One chap was keen on making you toss whether you would give, say, 5/- or 7/6. But you could nearly always get things for your price by walking away—the man would always be after you with the thing. I saw only two bargains ultimately refused.

* * #.

After that we went into the Cathedral, quite a decent big Church. It was packed to the doors with blacks—the clergyman, choir, congregation, all black. They sang an anthem very well, and in the hymns the whole congregation joined in singing in parts, naturally, very much as Maoris do. The parson read the Collects very prettily, with a nicely modulated voice.

34

Later on in our stay we used to go for picnics down the river in one of the ship's boats, and we had great times sailing to the bays two or three miles down. Some of them were very pretty, especially one; it had a fairly narrow entrance and then spread out to an oval shape—a beautiful beach with deep blue water— palms and other trees growing right down to the water's edge.

We also visited a very interesting native village—purely na-tive—pine apples, breadfruit, cocoanuts, and dates growing prac-tically in the streets; there were two or three schools, a church, and a police station. We ran across one extraordinary chap, a very well-educated native of 23. His father had intended him for the Church, but died, and the young chap had to take anything that came along; he is a stone-mason or a carpenter, but I cannot see how he gets much to do. We asked him why natives did not treat their wives better. " I n questions of etiquette," he said, "you white men are more cultured and can control your wives with more courtesy—your wives are subordinate to their hus-bands. ' ' Later on he said: " I was not destined for the work my papa put me to. Nature must have her will; nature will pro-vide. ' ' He was very keen to go to England, hut said there were disadvantages. "Some of my relatives will ignore me because they think I am trying to degrade their prestige. We asked him what he thought of white men and white soldiers. 11 There are some,'' he said, "that through their actions prove themselves real Chris-tians ; but some I consider barbarous—they do not consider their actions.'' English was his only tongue—a great many can speak only English, and even those who speak a native language fre-quently use English to one another. But it seemed strange to get such words of wisdom from a black man in a tiny secluded village.

" Methinks a bard, and thou art one, should suit his song to sorrow, And tell of pain, as well as gain, that waits us on the morrow, But thou art not a poet, thou, If naught but joy can touch thee now, If in thy heart thou hast no vow, that speaks of nature's anguish.''

Oh sing, to wakening trees and flowers, The golden joys of coming hours

And all the gladness daylight showers, upon the earth at morning. 'Tis said that thou hast never known a poet's sacred sadness,— That in thy strain no touch of pain doth mingle with thy glad-

ness, That thou know'st naught of sorrow's sting, Nor can 'st thou sing of anything

But joy within a happy world, a joy that knows no ending. Thou dost not sing while in the brake thy passion is withholden, Till once again, in one great plain, the earth below 'g unfolden;

Then, with thy vision bright and clear, Thou seest beauties far and near,

E 'en to the sea that do+h appear, blue on the distant skyline.

And as thou sing'st with joyance clear the myriad forms of na-ture,—

The hills, the sea, the wild flowers free—there mingles with thy rapture

A note of triumph—thou dost know, The warmth and light, that sends the glow

Through nature's heart, shall still bestow its love through count-less ages.

Perchance, if poets did as thou, they might sing less of sorrow,— Of weary life, of ceaseless strife, sad past and sad to-morrow,

Of all the woes that on this earth We seem condemned to from our birth,

Of many ills that cloud our mirth, and turn to tears our laughter,

If they like thee should rise from earth in burning exultation, Should mount to where, in purer air, they felt fresh inspiration,

Should see our life from far above, From nearer to the realms of love,

Mayhap their flood of song would prove more glad, sprite, e'en than thine.

Ay, if they felt God's warmth and light, against their spirits beating,

And saw His Worth pervaded earth, not with an influence fleet-ing,

But in men's hearts dwelt as a flame, Through endless ages still the same,

Oh, then their praise of that great name would know no tone save rapture!

36

Then sing again, oh prophet bird, of joy that knows no ending! And sing, thou too, oh poet true, Truth with thy passion blending!

Ay, sing, till in fair eastern skies, We see the Morning Star arise,

And feel the love that never dies pulsate throughout our beings. " M . "

Il Penseroso. A.U.C.

How melancholy a thing it is, to be of the company of stu-dents. "Gaudeamus," saith our song, but rather, methinks, it should say, "Let us condole one with another, let us be sad and very heavy, let us weep for youth is flying fast, our joys are but few, our sorrows many." Where entereth Joy into our lives? Verily it hath but a small chink through which to filter—indeed, to me it seemeth that it hath not even a chink. Sorrows crush it, cares overwhelm it, anxieties kill it—alas! Joy quickly dieth. Our days creep by in sorrow, and yet withal seem to fly, and one day is like unto another even as two straws. Each morn do we awake from sleep, and lo! our first waking thought is "Our bur-den will surely bear us down." This sad refrain occupieth our minds long and we rise at last and behold! the family hath broken its fast and left nothing but bread and cold tea for our eating. And now again we brood, and this time 'tis upon the injustice of things and the greed of our fellow creatures, and we consume our meal in bitterness of spirit. Having eaten our fill we betake ourselves to study, and now indeed our burden ap-peareth intolerable. Verily 'tis hard to bring the mind to study when the heart bursteth with grief, but we do fight valiantly against Inclination who whispereth to us with cunning "Leave study for this week and let us begin later," and we decide to read of the woes of "Hamlet" as best befitting to our mood. "How, weary, stale, flat, unprofitable," crieth Hamlet, and our heart echoeth his words and tears gush from our eyelids.

37

So passeth the leaden hour till in grief we set out for Col-lege, and in the distance our eyes do light on a tram towards which we hasten, but behold! as we do almost reach it, it starteth and leaveth us behind. We do experience a goodly number of the like mishaps before we arrive at our destination with our heart hammering in our breast and our mouth panting forth steam by reason of the climb up the hill of zig-zags which might well be called Difficulty.

We enter the portals of our but shabbily attired Alma Mater, and glance at the contrivance whereon letters are wont to be fastened. Alas! no cheerful news from friends, 110 blissful cheque from the Education Board, merely a document which informeth us that we owe more than we can pay. In the dismal chamber men call the Common-room are many students who do smile and chat and drink of the cup that doth not inebriate. Eagerly we seize the tea-pot, but, grievous to relate, 'tis empty, and in the like condition is the kettle. With glee like unto that of friends they tell us that the gas hath gone wrong and burneth with but a feeble light and that by reason of this mishap we may not make us fresh tea, and then they gaze earnestly at us and inquire ' ' What aileth thee, and why art thou cast down ? Art thou in-flicted with indigestion or hast thou risen on the wrong side of thy bed this morn?" We turn away more in sorrow than in anger and reply, "Naught aileth me," for do we not know too well that our fellow students are creatures of but little under-standing ?

We decide to post our Latin Prose written with such care yester-e'en, but alas! we have left it behind in our home and there is no time to go back. So we think we will do it from memory and open our locker for the things needful. So! our 6d. worth of foolscap hath been pinched and our fountain-pen is not and in our locker are many dirty dishes which we neglected to wash up yesterday. The countenance of the student who, through bribery and corruption, managed to get elected General Scaven-ger of the Common Room weareth a triumphant leer as we hastily bear our dishes to the sink. On our way thither we unwittingly do tread upon a round and rolling object and fall heavily to the ground breaking our cup which did cost us 8|d. at the sale and wounding with severity our elbow. We cast a glance of hatred at the rolling object which did cause our fall, but it turneth out to be our own missing fountain pen, so we decide not to take revenge. On returning to the Common Room we learn that the clock hath stopped and that we are late for lecture, so we do grab our note-book and run in haste. We enter the door of the lecture room and

38

our Professor stoppeth his discourse and passeth rude and bitter remarks on those who do make it their custom to arrive late. In fear and sorrow we open our note book and find 'tis the wrong one but we dare not quit the room to get the other. We whisper of our misfortune to our neighbour and again our Professor stop-peth his discourse and saith in loud and angry tones: " Y e who do interrupt my lecture, get ye gone." But we, though blushing, do sit tight, and proceed to take English notes in our Science drawing book.

The sad minutes creep by till the clock pointeth to the hour, and we rise and enter again our Common Room. We now take a book and wend our way to the library, but lo! we find a dense circle of young gentlemen, who do call themselves Scientists, round the fire so that we may not even catch a glimpse of its cheerful glow. So we betake ourselves to an alcove where the draught moaneth and whistleth, and we do brood upon the selfish-ness of man until the clock telleth us 'tis time to enter yet an-other lecture room. This time 'tis the lecture on the translation of a language long dead—would it had not left us its remains— and yet another weight is added to our burden, for we do feel in our bones that our Lecturer will bid us to translate. He giveth to his students a piece of Cicero to translate which to us seemeth very difficult. We diligently endeavour to translate the first sen-tence, but the smallness of our vocabulary preventetli us. All too soon riseth up our Lecturer and biddeth someone translate, and lo! he translateth fluently, and we brood upon our lack of knowledge and the impossibility of passing and the uselessness of life until of a sudden are we startled by hearing our name called and we are bidden to " try our hand." Alack, in our sorrowful meditation have we forgotten to listen and now we know not the place so we say we cannot translate Cicero. But our Lecturer hath no pity and rapidly rolleth up his ribbons and saith,'' Try ! ' ' So we hastily do ask our neighbour where the place is and our Lecturer seeth and saith we collaborate. Now indeed are we over-whelmed by the injustice of it and tears fill our eyes so that we cannot see and we fail in our translation. Methinks the minute hand of the clock doth move even as slowly as the hour hand, but at last we do rise and leave the lecture room and prepare to depart. Alas! but another misfortune doth befall us for we dis-cover that someone else hath worn our hat home. We do curse even with bitter cursings and wend our way homewards hatless, and when we arrive thither do cast ourselves upon our couch and question the reason of our being and meditate upon our wrongs until we do fall asleep. So endeth our day.

Of Daisies

" T o the immortal Child tarrying all your life-time in your heart.''

Once Eldorado lay just over the hills and down in the mea-dows, where we played, little kings of infinite space, our starry diadems mere daisy chains, our silver and our gold were daisy flowers. But now our wisdom smiles at daisy coronals and too often rises as a fog to hide the dreaming hills of Eldorado. Once it was torture cruel as death for us to watch the destructive pro-gress of the gardener across the lawns and to see the dying daisies flung from beneath his whirling mower. Childhood's sorrows are so mercilessly intense and its joys so passionately vivid when seen from the heights of our years; yet they who keep through life a child-like heart, a child-like faith, are most truly happy and most truly worthy of our reverence.

The daisies of our childhood are treasured for us in the books of the poets.

Chaucer knew and loved the daisies:

" Above all the flou'res in the mead Then love I most those flou'res white and rede, Soch that men callen daisies in our toun."

One imagines his walking through the dew of the meadows to meet the sun and staying with a naive delight to see the wak-ing daisies, round his feet. He remembers the flower's name in the lines:

' ' The daisie, or els the eye of daie The emprise and floure of floures all.' '

Again he tells us:

" To see this floure against the sunne spredd When it upriseth early by the morrow That blissful sight softeneth all my sorrow.''

40

In the books of all the poets from Chaucer down to our own day are the daisies.

An exile weary poet of our own day, longing to see April sunshine gleaming through rain on the fields of home, writes:

' ' Meadows of England, shining in the rain, Spread wide your daisied lawns: your ramparts green With briar fortify, with blossoms screen."

In one of the most exquisite of modern sonnets Alice Meynell has shown us the daisy in a new light:

4' Slight as thou art, thou art enough to hide Like all created thing, secrets from me And stand a barrier to eternity.

Oh daisy mine, what will it be to look From God's side, even of such a simple thing.''

So God is working his purpose out even in the lives of the white field daisies; how, we shall know when the stars beneath our feet are daisies for our plucking.

It were well could we bend to catch the whispers of the daisies.

"The people God sends us to set our hearts free," to light our cobwebbed sight and to set us at liberty, to go hand in hand with Nature down the daisy fringed paths of our childhood, to-wards the east, whence we came. That conquering army of the daisies, an eager, merry host, armed with power of elf-land, marches each Spring across our fields as once they came, when

' ' The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell, The orioles whistled them out of the wood; But all of their singing was, 'Earth, it is well'; But all of their dancing was 'Life, thou art good!' "

You will find the message of the daisy stars deep in the blue eyes of little children, where in very truth daisies seem to bloom. But more wise than I must he be, who would try to tell you such secrets.

As long as you love the white daisies, you, like the foster-child of the Fairy Milka, will be a fit companion for the fairies, and it is very gay to wander with them, a-maying through the daisied meadows. Here, then, is a goblin curse,- dread, dread, with -which to protect our daisies:

4' May peace come never to his nest, Who shall reprove thee."

Dean Swift

Such was his fate, That, whilst he could in heartfelt hatred reel, None other could such tender passion feel. Thus oft from Swift himself my thoughts have strayed To be by Stella and her sorrows swayed. From that dark soul, its brilliancy and cloud, To Stella's life, then Stella in her shroud— But there by Stella, Stella cold and dead, In hopeless sorrow Swift with bended head. And thus at last left lonely, sad, and old, How tragic is the ruin we behold; Robbed in the world of that for which he toiled, By his own satire his ambition foiled; And of his brilliant genius despoiled, And, worst, bereft of Stella, all his joy Awhile 'twas his to mock and to destroy. But soon the deepening shadows closed around To form a darkness silent and profound; Then light and love were gone and nought remained Save life itself, a mockery sustained: To this same shrouding darkness came the end, And with Death's deeper gloom at last did blend. So great was Swift, his tragedy so vast That from his wreck the mind doth start aghast.

It serveth not vainly to ponder o 'er This great man's sorrow, or his woes restore— But rather hope that with his fleeting breath There fled his pain, and all his woes knew death. Wherever that proud soul and dark hath fled, I pray it left its mortal sorrows dead, That Swift eternally with Stella dwells, And that their love all other passion quells; That in ethereal realms above, Their "little language" tells their deathless love.

Social Service

It is to the University that the State looks for its future leaders. By the very nature of his training the University stu-dent is fitted to be a leader of men, and to influence the thought of the community. He is able to bring all the forces of a trained mind to bear upon the problems of life, his outlook upon life is broad and his discussion of its conditions keen and critical, and the ideals fostered by his College life are high. But we often

46

find that the student who leaves College with high ideals of serv-ing his fellow men does not enter into social work, his ideals be-come dimmed and his energies mis-directed. The reason lies, to a great extent, in the fact that he becomes out of touch with agencies concerned with the social conditions of the day, his ener-gies are not exerted in the right direction, and the call of social service, if it comes at all, is unheeded. To meet the need of re-lating the activities of students leaving College to the various social agencies where their endeavours would be best directed, the Social Service League was formed under the auspices of the Australasian Student Christian Movement. It has aimed at co-ordinating the efforts of students to improve the conditions of the country. A branch was formed in Auckland, and for some years did valuable work in the direction of keeping the attention of old students fixed on the need for social service, and in suggesting methods of such service. The activities of the members were necessarily largely personal, and the League was for the most part a corresponding body.

The President and other officers having gone on Active Ser-vice, the activities of the League have to a great extent ceased during the last year or two. Though the lack of men, both as officers and members of the League, presents some difficulties, it is most undesirable that the activities of the League should be dis-continued, and the N.Z. Co-operating Committee of the A.S.C.M. has in view the appointment of a Registrar for each of the differ-ent University centres, who would be in a position to relate the activities of students to the various social agencies. To this end a Social Service Registration form has been prepared as follows: " I n view of the constant demand for helpers coming from the various Social Agencies at work in our midst it is considered de-sirable to record the names of University men and women who wish to participate, after the completion of their courses, in some form of Social Service. Their activity will then be organised and related to specific agencies in need of workers. To this end you are requested to indicate in the blank spaces following the kind of work in which you are willing to engage. Some suggestions as to forms of Social Service which may be specified will be found on the back of this card."

The following are some of the suggestions:—Study Circle Leadership, Y.M.C.A. "Work, Y.W.C.A. Work, Sunday School Teaching, Boys' Club Work, Girls' Club Work, Guilds of Play Work, Charity Organisation, Tutorial Class Work, Co-operative Propaganda Work, Municipal Government Work, Political Pro-paganda Work, Housing Reform, Peace Propaganda Work, Tem-

47

perance Propaganda Work, Foreign Missions Work, Church Union.

Notice will be given later if such a Registrar is appointed, and the call to social service is so great that surely every student leaving the University or Training Colleges will seek to exert his energies in some form of service for which he feels a special in-terest or fitness.

? ? ?

Was it past experience that made a certain advanced English student suppose a subtle connection between " w i n k " and ' ' wench'' ? We used to think he was shy.

Why did the Ladies' Social Evening not eventuate? Did it all go up in smoke?

Why do science students learn Hooke's Law? Because it's useful in Fission, we suppose.

Has the ambassador been molested by the ladies? We can remember a time when his duties were more eagerly carried out.

Did any of the pianists at the Cercle Moliere Concert mur-mur inwardly, " I ' m sure they'll hear this damn thing squeak-ing"?

What would our gentle professor have said if we had taken him at his word when he said, after translating

Da mi basia mille, dein centum Dein mille altera, dein secunda centum Dein usque altera mille, deinde centum,

"Take seven while you are on the subject"? Was a young lady thinking of the future when she trans-

lated " T o Stevene Bleis ispoused as God gef that cas," as "married to Steven Bleis, when God gave her the chance"?

Is it not a pity that even a science student cannot make violets last more than four days ?

Men's Common Room Club Despite abnormal conditions the Club has had a successful year; the

membership, though not so large as last year, is above the acerage, and the Club's financial position is secure. Many members are now on active ser-vice; among them are Messrs. Jory, Comrie, Pezaro, Piatt, Reynolds, Smith, Winter, Learning—all members of last year's Executive Committee.

The Annual General Meeting was held on March 22nd. Mr. John Kyd submitted a most entertaining report for the year 1916, from which we learnt, among other things, that the Club was "financially and numerically at High Water extraordinary spring tides"—an entirely satisfactory state of affairs. The usual election of officers was held. Mr. Ardern, in returning thanks for his re-election as Honorary President of the Club, briefly reviewed the his-tory of the Common Room from its small "unsmoking" beginnings, and dealt with various matters of interest and importance to members.

Ping-pong seems to be on the decline; doubtless this is due in great part to lack of the necessary implements, most of which are now in many pieces. Now-a-days members seem more inclined for intellectual pastimes— such as chess, draughts, and last, but by no means least, indoor football. This latter was very popular for a short time, and some very spectacular ( ? ) games were witnessed. Proceeds and "cast-of fs" were devoted to charity.

The Club invested a small sum in the Commercial Travellers' Lucky Packet Scheme, but our luck was out, the proceeds consisting of 1 fancy brooch, 1 hand mirror, 1 ball of soap, and 2 dozen hatpin-protectors (of "Continental" manufacture).

Mr. J. K. S. Hall, our Library-Anne, left for camp with the 30th Rein-forcements in June. Messrs. F. W. Baxter (Executive President) and W. T. G. Airey (Vice-President) are leaving with the July draft. We wish them, and all who have gone before, the best of good luck.

On Saturday, July 14th, an informal Smoke Concert was held in the Common Room. There was a good attendance and much mirth and laughter. Musical items were contributed by Messrs. Woods, Sinclair, M. Adams, Baume and others; Mr. McLaren gave a very enjoyable exhibition of con-juring, and recitations were given by Messrs. Wallnutt and Meltzer. The evening was in .every way a very successful one.

Debating Society It was feared at the commencement of the session that the high stan-

dard reached by the Debating Society last year could not possibly be equalled. However, the interest taken in the Society has exceeded our hopes. Not only are our members depleted through the War, but a science lecture keeps many of our supporters away from the meetings. Yet with the excep-tion of the Students' Association, our membership is greater than that of any other College club. We must thank the ladies for their assistance this year. Besides their own debate, they have taken a prominent part in the First Year, and in the Open Debates.

As usual, the Impromptu Debate proved amusing for all present. It seems regrettable, however, that the impromptu side of our work should be allowed scope only in subjects of a pseudo-comic nature.

The subject of the First Year Debate was "that Civilisation has not been conducive to the happiness of the World." Miss Edgcumbe, Miss Stretton, Mr. Garland and Mr. Mellsop upheld the affirmative side and Miss Bell, Miss Milne, Mr. Kirker and Mr. Veale the negative. The judge's verdict was in favour of the affirmative side. The speakers showed debating talent of an unusually high order.

On May 2nd was delivered the Presidential Address, the subject being "Germany, as a Law-Breaker." In the course of a highly entertaining and instructive address, Mr. Algie gave us many instances of technical breaches of International Law.

The Competitive Debate for a trophy presented by the Society was very keenly contested, the judge having great difficulty in separating the first two speakers, Messrs. Garland and Yeale. Finally, Mr. Garland was awarded the first position.

The Open Debate on the subject that "Patriotism should be sacrificed to a federation of the world" was naturally very interesting, and the voting on the issue was very close. By the Chairman's casting vote it was decided that patriotism should not be sacrificed. Miss Brendel and Mr. Grigg led the sides.

The Ladies' Debate was probably the most successful yet held. Misses Butterfield, Egerton and Fisher declared that the "Modern Girl is superior to the Early Victorian," while Misses Brendel, Edgcumbe and Crossman sought to prove the case for the early Victorian. The arguments brought forward left the general impression that the Victorian girl was a better home-

- maker, and that the modern girl is more independent and self-reliant. But while the Victorian girl was somewhat narrow-minded and colourless, the modern girl is too superficial and pleasure-loving.

Teams from the College and the Workers' Educational Association will Bhortly debate the subject "That the system of compulsory arbitration in

Scientific Society Despite the continued exodus of Btudents from the College, the Scienti-

fic Society has succeeded in maintaining its usual standard of vigorous ac-tivity. The membership for this, the third year of our Society's life, is larger than that of either of the previous years, and the meetings have been well attended, not only by students of science, but also of other faculties.

The first meeting of this session was held on April 16th, when Prof. Worley delivered his presidential address, consisting of a most interesting outline of recent work on the connection between 1 ' X-rays and Crystal Struc-ture." A week later Mr. V. B. Johns gave a very enjoyable paper on "Talk-ing Machines" with varied demonstrations. On May 7th Mr. Cole-Baker gave a lucid exposition of the principles of "Photography."

On the first Monday of the second term we were favoured with an ex-ceedingly entrancing paper by Miss Butterfield on "Phases of the Self," while Mr. Eobb initiated us into the hidden mysteries of ' ' Comets and Shoot-ing Stars."

On June 25th our Annual Social Evening was held. Miss Johnson, in a well thought-out paper, revealed many interesting biological and chemical facts with regard to "Tea, Coffee and Cocoa," after which we adjourned to the Physics Laboratory where a very enjoyable social hour was spent. Amongst other amusements we had a chocolate-eating competition, while some of the more venturesome experienced a sensational flight up to the rafters in a 'plane kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Cooper. On entering the Physics Laboratory each person was given a chemical name and when supper-time came round many weird and wonderful compounds were formed, few of which were at all stable.

On July 9th Mr. Veale, in a paper entitled "Osmosis and Diffusion as Vital Forces," showed many remarkable analogies between osmotic and or-ganic growths. The remaining papers are:

1 ' Aerodonetics,'' by Mr. V. E. Browne, on July 23rd. ' ' Plant Life in New Zealand,'' by Mr. T. L. Lancaster, on

August 6th. On April 10th the Society hired two launches and an excursion was

held to Huia where a very enjoyable day was spent. On this occasion we were pleased to have Prof. Owen with us for the last time before his leaving New Zealand. It is intended some time in the near future to hold another excursion to some place of scientific interest, and it is hoped that this will be as successful as our previous outing.

Literary Club After the publication of last year'S K I W I the Club held several success-

ful meetings towards the end of the 2nd term. The reading of "The Cri-t i c " was especially good and gained much applause. Much amusement was added by the fact that one character suddenly appeared in costume of a "youthful Spaniard" of the 18th century among lords and ladies in civilian dress of the twentieth century.

Towards the end of the third term several papers on literary subjects were read. Despite unfavourable weather there was a fair attendance. Mr. Airey dealt with John Ruskin, Mr. Reynolds with Rupert Brooke, and Mr. Piatt with W. B. Yeats. The President's Prize for the best original paper for 1916 was won by Mr. Piatt, who is now on active service.

This year, owing to the shortage of senior students, much difficulty has been experienced in arranging casts. The number of readers available is not nearly so great as in the past. Many readers deserve praise for the un-selfish way in which they have consented to read again and again, and in some cases have sacrificed their own interests to those of the Club. Despite this shortage several very successful meetings have been held. The average attendance at the three meetings held in the first term was over sixty. This speaks well for the popularity of the Club, which is perhaps partly due to the provision of more suppers than in previous years. It is very gratifying to note that students from all faculties take part in the activities of the Club; yet the membership is not so large as one would expect from the at-tendance at the meetings.

After the business portion of the general meeting an interesting pro-gramme of readings was given. Extracts were read from Sheridan Knowles' ' ' Hunchback,'' Lewis Carroll's 1 ' Alice in Wonderland,'' Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," and Sheridan's "Rivals . " This first meeting of the year created a very favourable impression.

On Friday, April 13th, the Club gave a "superstitious" evening. Suitable readings were selected from Algernon Blackwood, Stevenson, Southey, Mackenzie, Shakespeare and Marlowe. The performance, which was entirely successful, drew an attendance much above the average for College meetings. A suitably " w e i r d " supper was provided in the Ladies' Common Room. Elaborate sketches of witches adorned the walls. On every |side the superstitious saw some cause for alarm. Ghost stories during supper com-pleted a very enjoyable evening.

On May 4th before a large and appreciative audience the Club read Sheridan's "Rivals ." This had been well prepared and the readers showed considerable dramatic ability. Supper was served in the Ladies' Common Room. Many thanks are due to the ladies for the way in which they have carried out the increased work entailed by suppers.

The first meeting of this term was devoted to a very interesting paper on Francis Thompson by Miss Edgecumbe, and to the reading of scenes from ' ' Much Ado about Nothing.''

53

A fortnight later Mr. Robinson read a paper on Mr. John Masefield, which was much appreciated by all. The remainder of the evening was de-voted to "Sea Pieces."

The Club owes a very real debt of gratitude to Mr. Ardern for his great services in coaching readers and supervising rehearsals, often at considerable inconvenience to himself.

Cercle Moliere A cause de la perte de bien des membres cette ann6e, ce n'6tait

qu'a grand' peine que le Cercle pouvait suivre son cours. Mais tous ceui qui restent ont essaye de conserver les activites du club pendant 1' absence de ces membres; ainsi 1' assistance a la plupart de nos stances est d'or-dinaire enthousiaste plutot que nombreuse.

A la premiere reunion on lisait Maitre Patelin et quelques pieces variees des auteurs de la periode. Quinze jours plus tard, apr&s plusieurs repetitions des membres du club donnaient une representation d'une des comedies d' Augier le Gendre de M. Poirier. Cette pi&ce jouit d'un succfcs assez heureux. Dans les premiers jours du second trimestre eut lieu notre troisieme reunion oil quelques scenes du Monde ou l'on s'enniue furent rendues en meme temps que des morceaux choisis de Daudet de Gautier et de Richepin. Un dialogue "grammatical" fut re<ju avee 6clat. En quinze jours il y aura une soiree musicale et sociale k la quelle noua invitons tous ceux qui s' interessent a notre club.

Rifle Club As has been the case with other clubs, the War has considerably cur-

tailed our activities, and but for a little miniature shooting, practice has almost come to a standstill. We were denied the use of the Penrose range, and with the advent of new regulations, we lost our ancient heritage of free ammunition.

Discouragement could scarcely be more acute, and although Prof. Wor-ley has interviewed Sir James Allen, and spared no effort to secure the re-turn of our privileges, we have regained nothing.

The result is that long-range practice for the men has entirely ceased —a state of affairs which might be worse were it not for the fact that we will not have to defend the Haslam Shield again until after the War.

In order to keep interest in shooting alive, a miniature club has been formed, and Misses Tizard and Gallagher have been elected to the Execu-tive, along with the Secretary and Executive President of the Rifle Club. Considerable interest has been displayed in the miniature shooting, and a

54

high degree of proficiency attained by numbers of our lady members. A silver Bpoon has been donated by Mr. F. H. Combes for competition among the ladies, and a very even, but undecided match is in progress.

We have to thank Mr. Combes, not only for his donation, but also for the continued use of his miniature range at Eemuera. Were it not for his kindness, shooting would have been altogether a thing of the past.

Commerce Students' Society At the beginning of this year it was felt by some members that owing

to the loss of our senior men it would be necessary to reduce the number of our meetings. Owing, however, to the inclusion of several enthusiastic lady members upon the Executive and to the active recruiting on the part of our officials we have been more than able to hold our own.

It is to be noted with pleasure that our members are taking more part in College life. Several of them are acting upon the Executives of the other societies and clubs. Though not successful in obtaining representation upon the Executive of the Students' Association, the increase in the number of our students who are also members of the parent body is gratifying.

Our session opened with a lecture from Prof. J. P. Grossmann upon '1 The Russian Revolution.'' An audience of over 60 members and friends listened to a most interesting discourse upon the origin and gradual growth of the revolutionary movement, the influence exercised by the Socialists, Nihilists and the Pro-German party, the failure of the Tsar to deal with the tremendous questions at issue, and the final overthrow of the oligarchy.

On Tuesday, 8th May, Mr. W. H. Hemingway spoke to a large audience upon "The Present Industrial Unrest." In the course of his lecture Mr. Hemingway traced the history of the Labour Movement, mentioned some of the principal causes underlying the present unrest and enumerated suggested remedies. It was felt by the Executive that the speaker should be given an-other opportunity of enlarging upon his subject, so that on the 12th June Mr. Hemingway again addressed the Society upon the same subject, his lec-ture taking the form of a series of answers to criticisms upon the preceding lecture.

The next meeting took the form of a Students' Evening, when papers were given by Mrs. Larney upon ' ' Accounts relating to an Advertising Con-cern," Mr. H. W. Shove upon "Some Comments upon Internal Check and Audit,'' and Mr. H. Ingram upon ' ' Self-Balancing Ledgers.''

On 17th July, Mr. S. J. Harbutt, president of the Auckland Indus-trial Association, addressed the Society upon ' ' Fostering Local Industries.''

55

The lecturer stated that though New Zealand had made great progress in agricultural and pastoral pursuits, she had made a mistake in neglecting local industries. Emphasis was placed upon the need for encouragement of a sentiment in favour of New Zealand manufactured goods, closer co-opera-tion of capital and labour, and greater efficiency.

The remaining lecture for the year is upon "Marine Insurance," by Mr. D. C. Chalmers, LL.M.

HERBERT INGRAM, Hon. Sec.

Christian Union Like all other societies the Christian Union has felt very keenly the loss

of the senior students who have gone to the Front. The lack of experienced students has, however, been to some extent compensated for by the increased tone of seriousness among the members of the Union and by the more real perception of the work before us.

At the annual summer conference held at Rangiora last year we were represented by some six or seven members. The conference will this year be held in the Wellington district and we would urge members to attend it.

Our activities this year have been confined principally to the general meetings and the Bible Study Circles. The number of Circles is the same as last year, and the hours have been arranged so that all students may have a chance of attending at least one circle. The study book in use is Oldham's ' ' Studies on the Gospel of St. Mark.'' The Rev. J. M. Saunders again kindly consented to take the Leader's Circle, which is held on Monday evenings.

The usual general meetings have been held every second Wednesday at 8 p.m. During the 1st term addresses were given by Rev. J. M. Saunders, Rev. Monckton and Rev. Isaac Jolly. These meetings, which were very in-teresting, were well attended.

In the 2nd term we have so far been favoured with addresses by Rev. Manson, Missionary from China, and by Miss Gavin, Travelling Secretary for New Zealand. The attendance of the men at these meetings was very poor, though that of the ladies was good. All members should make a point of attending the remaining meetings for this term. They are as follows:—

July 11th—"Educational Problems," Mr. Gibson. July 25th—"The Power of Jesus Christ in the life of the

Student," Rev. R. H. Knowles Kempton. During the first term, Dr. Weeks, Dean of Nelson, spent a week in

Auckland in the interests of the Student Christian Movement. He spent much of his time at the College, and all students had an opportunity of meet-ing him. Several study circles were arranged, the ordinary circles being suspended. These special circles were very well attended and were of the greatest interest and help. On Saturday, April 14th, a half-day conference was held. Over 50 students met at the College and walked through the Do-main to the Dilworth Institute. There afternoon tea was kindly provided by Mrs. Noel Gibson and students were given an opportunity of examining the buildings. Tea was served in the Epsom Methodist School-room in the even-

56

ing. After tea a short intercession service was held and Dr. "Weeks then ad-dressed the meeting. His final meeting at College on Wednesday 18th was exceptionally well attended. Ninety gathered in the English Lecture Room, BO greatly had his reputation grown. His inspiring address on "Christian Morale" sounded the right chord for a farewell message.

We all feel that the week was a great success. The splendid personality of Dr. Weeks charmed us all. His clear, eloquent addresses struck home; they made us think, they brought encouragement for the depressed and new vigour for us all. We wish him every success in his work in the South.

A series of addresses on comparative religions has been arranged for the 2nd term. These will be delivered by men who have carefully studied the religions they deal with and should be of the greatest interest. They are as follows:—

July 17th—"Buddhism," Rev. I. Jolly. August 7th—"Confucianism," Rev. J. W. Shaw. Sept. 4th—"Mohammedanism," Rev. C. H. Laws.

At the beginning of the 2nd Term Miss Gavin, Travelling Secretary for New Zealand, visited Auckland. On June 13th she addressed one of our general meetings. On the 16th a half-day conference was held at St. John's College, Tamaki. In the evening the party proceeded to St. Luke's where addresses were given by Miss Gavin and the Rev. C. H. Garland. Despite un-favourable weather about thirty students attended and the day proved very enjoyable.

football Club After the K I W I went to press last year the Club kept up its fine record

and finished by winning the Senior Championship for 1916, after several hard and exciting matches. The second match against Grammar School Old Boys was especially interesting, the final score being 5-3. Piatt scored a fine try which was converted by Boucher. Piatt as wing three-quarter did much for the team's success, seldom missing an opportunity to score. Five of our members gained places in the Auckland team which played the unbeaten team selected from the 17th Reinforcements, Maxwell, Lucas, Piatt, Milliken and Boucher. Auckland won by 24-3. Out of five tries our members scored four, Piatt (2), Lucas and Maxwell one each.

This year the team has as yet done very well, although we have had to replace many who have left for the Front. The age limit for the senior grade has been removed, but most of our members are still under twenty. We are pleased to have two returned men playing for us, Gasparich and Belcher.

The forwards are rather light, but fast, and do good work in the loose.. Gasparich, Gibbons and Shove are perhaps the best of an even pack.

The backs have undergone many changes owing to injuries to several members. Boucher, for instance, was injured in the first match, and has since only once been able to play right through a game. The most consistent player is Robinson, who has been prominent in every game. O'Connor is a strong scoring man and has been a good help to the team.

The whole team is inclined to shirk practices.

57

Details of the matches are as follows:— v. Grammar O.B.—won 6-0. Tries were scored by O'Connor and

Molloy. v. Railway—won 11-3. O'Connor scored 3 tries, Boucher con-

verting one. Much interest was taken in this match as Railway, a new team, were expected to win.

v. Grafton—lost 6-9. Gasparich scored two tries. During part of this game we were playing with only 14 men, and when we seemed likely to even the scores heavy rain turned the game into a scramble.

v. Railway—won 6-0. Inglis, a promoted junior, scored two tries. The team on this occasion was without the services of Gasparich, Boucher and Robinson.

v. Grammar.—Rain and hail commenced promptly at three o 'clock. Grammar defaulted at half-time when the score was 3-0 in favour of Varsity, owing to several members getting the cramp. A re-play was granted at our request.

Grafton—won 6-0. Robinson scored two tries. The ground was dry and the game was very fast and exciting.

Two teams were entered in the 2nd Grade. The A team promised well but has suffered through some of its members being promoted to the firsts. The main fault was lack of combination. We are especially proud of our roll of honour. Nine of our last year's team have enlisted. Several former members have gained military distinctions. We offer our congratulations to W. Geddes, C. L. Knight and W. A. Gray.

Auckland Architectural Students' Association This Association was formed about four years ago with the object of

furthering the interests of the architectural students of Auckland. There are many branches of the profession which a student has not the opportunity of following in his ordinary office routine, and it is chiefly in this direction that our work lies.

Competitions in the design of architectural subjects are set once a month by different architects in the city, and are judged and criticised at the Club Room, Tyrone Buildings, generally during the dinner hour. Lec-tures are also delivered periodically, and the readiness of many of the archi-tects to help us in this way is greatly appreciated.

Once a fortnight, on Thursday night, Esquisse Esquisse or two-hour subjects are held at the room, the subject being announced a day before to enable competitors to formulate ideas. Great enthusiasm is shown in these competitions. Amid the rattle of tee-squares and set-squares, the whirr of numerous pencils in the wind of flying shirt sleeves, and the curses of many

58

tongues—down underneath the pile of drawing papers and instruments, ap-pears the head of a student, working like one possessed to cram more work into those two hours than the man beside him. Yes, the Association puts through some useful work.

Of the total membership of about fifty, nearly thirty are serving with the colours at the present time, and still more are on the point of leaving.

The Association extends an invitation to all students of the College and others interested in architecture to attend its meetings and lectures.

Cricket Club We can safely claim that the season 1916-17 was one of the most suc-

cessful for us since our foundation. We finished third in the championship, though it must be admitted, a long way behind the two leading teams. In the first round, however, we were defeated only by Ponsonby, who ultimately headed the list.

We began the season with a strong team. Few of the old members were left, but there were many promising juniors to take the places of those who had left for the Front, and we were greatly strengthened by inclusion of Niven, Walker, and Ilockin from the Auckland Hospital Staff. During his stay Niven proved a most consistent left-hand batsman and bowler. Gra-ham, the veteran of the team, showed that he has not lost his old skill with the bat. Garrard played some beautiful innings, but was a trifle inconsis-tent. Caradus, though not quite so successful as usual, was always a source of trouble to the opposing bowlers. Player, who was available only in the middle of the season, returned to his bowling form of a few seasons back, taking 25 wickets in 6 innings, a splendid performance. His bowling was really high-class and more accurate than of old. In Brennand we have a useful batsman and bowler; he also took some brilliant one-hand catches. With the departure of "the Doctors" about half way through the season our success waned. Other members were not always available and we had to draw considerably on the junior team.

Our first match against North Shore ended in a draw. We scored near-ly 300, Garrard making 93 by beautiful free cricket. On the second day continuous rain stopped play after about an hour and a-half. We next met Ponsonby on a very sticky wicket. We disposed of them for 72, Walker and Niven sharing the bowling. In reply we could reach only 56 against Smith and Snedden. The next week was again wet and Ponsonby batted all the afternoon. Against Grafton we won our first 3-pointer. The finish was ex-citing, Walker and Ilockin making 50 in -about 20 minutes against somewhat exaggerated off-theory bowling. Against Parnell, after losing 3 wickets for 9, we made a good recovery, reaching 170. Parnell made 340 and thus suffered their first defeat of the season. We had a most exciting match against Eden. Batting first we made 221. Eden had several ups and downs, losing wickets quickly and then recovering. Eventually their last wicket fell amid great excitement at 219. This is the first time on record that we have beaten Eden.

59

In our second match against North Shore we got a 3-pointer after being behind on the first innings. Then began our troubles. Ponsonby and Parnell both defeated us outright, and Grafton on the first innings. The second match with Eden was not played.

Our second grade team struggled hard against adversity through the greater part of the season, but at length had to give in when many vacancies had to be filled in the seniors. However, they met with more success than usual. Goodwin and W. E. Garrard were the stars of the team in all de-partments. Much was also due to the energy of the captain, Kyd. He played some stubborn innings when the team was in a critical position.

The pleasure of the season was greatly increased by the action of our lady supporters in providing afternoon tea when we played at Eden Park. Their lead was followed on several occasions by other clubs, and by making a small charge a considerable sum was raised for the Victoria League's fund for providing surgical appliances to disabled soldiers. We greatly appre-ciated the generous action of the ladies.

Constant additions are made to our Eoll of Honour, and since the K I W I was published last year Lieut. W. A. Gray and Lieut. C. H. A. Senior have won the Military Cross, and E. O. C. Marks the D.C.M. Congratula-tions I
