MORMON COLLEGE IN WAIKATO
Syllabus To Conform With N.Z. Pattern
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, Nov. 7.
Students at the Mormon College in the Waikato might relish American basketball and rock ’n’ roll music, but their education will be as “New Zealand as mutton chops and green peas.” The principal of the college, Dr. C. C. Boyack, of Berkeley, California, told the Auckland branch of the English-speaking Union today that the college was going to fit in with the New Zealand pattern of education, it would not be an “Americanised - New Zealand” school. The college, which has been built by Labour missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is almost completed. It will be opened next February with a roll of between 300 and 350 students. The New Zealand Government, Dr. Boyack said, had asked the church to bring over as many of its own teachers as possible to staff the college. Two or three New Zealanders would teach at the college, but four-fifths of the faculty would be American.
