PROFESSOR SALMOND'S RETIREMENT
* INTIMATION TO CANTERBURY COLLEGE Professor C. F. Salmond, Professor of Philosophy at Canterbury College, has advised the Canterbury College Board of Governors that, through ill-health, he will be obliged to retire in 1934.
It was in 1901 that philosophy was given a place in the teaching programme at Canterbury College, when a part-time lectureship was established and filled by Mr Charles Francis Salmond, who was born in Dunedin, the third son of the Rev. Dr. W. Salmond, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Otago. He was educated at the Otago Boys' High School and the University of Otago, where he graduated M.A. with first-class honours in philosophy in 1891. He was assistant master at the Temuka District High School, 1895-96, and first assistant master at the Ashburton High School, 1396-1907. In 1907 he became full-time lecturer with the additional duties of assistant to the chair of classics. From 1910 he was relieved of his classical work and in 1914 was appointed Professor of Philosophy.
Professor Salmond has been a prominent tennis player and has published poems showing a fine literary taste.
