The suggestions were that the day should be the last Thursday of the first term, with a ball, and Friday being devoted to golf and a dinner for graduates and former students.
Approval was given to changing the name of the Westland District Progress League Scholarship to the John Saunders Memorial Scholarship. “He was a great friend of the college, giving it every facility, the latest being for an aerial top-dressing display,” said the chairman (Mr W. H. Gillespie, M.P.), referring to the death of Sir R. Heaton Rhodes. The board passed motions of sympathy with his relatives, and also those of the late Messrs N. M.
