UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S GUESTS A very friendly band of university women from India and from many coun'.r.es bordering the Pacific exchanged greetings with New Zealand women graduates at a reception held in the staff room of the Student’s Union building, Canterbury University College, late yesterday afternoon. The hostesses were the president (Miss E. Baxter) and the committee of the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Federation of University Women, who the party to honour the overseas university women who are attending the Pan-Pacific women’s conference and it was interesting to note that a large number of delegates to the conference are university women. Among the visitors was Miss V. Barron. of Dunedin, president of the New Zealand Federation, who presented a federation badge to Dr. Shima Kan. lecturer in English and philosophy at Tokyo University for the last 20 years, and a member of the Japanese Association of University Women, which, Miss Barron hoped, would soon be readmitted to the federation. This, she considered, would be a further step towards international peace. Dr. Kan expressed her appreciation of the kindly gesture of the New Zealand federation towards her own association.
