Hamilton University
Sir,—Would Mr Algie say why ‘‘if students are going to have to board, they would be better boarding in Auckland"? Isn’t it true that board in Auckland is scarcer and dearer than in Hamilton?—Yours, etc., PARENT.
May 6, 1959. [“Board in Auckland may or may not be dearer than in Hamilton, but I was thinking primarily of the educational facilities that would be available,” said Mr R. M. Algie, M.P. “It will be a long time before Hamilton can provide what is already available in Auckland. Surely it would be better for a student taking English, philosophy, history, or education for Bachelor of Arts degree to pay the extra for board in Auckland and to get all the advantages of tuition in an established university, than to board in Hamilton and meet his professors or lecturers for, two weeks in each of his subjects. Tuition for a whole year ought to be better than tuition for a few weeks and contact with other students would have obvious advantages. If I lived at Thames, and had to choose between attending at Auckland or at Hamilton in present conditions, I think I would quickly decide for Auckland.”)
