BOARD OF GOVERNORS The John M’Glashan College Board of Governors held its monthly meeting in the Frst Church classroom on Thursday evening. Mr T. C. Ross was in the chair, and Messrs H. L. Cook, U.

Skinner were also present. The sub-committee appointed to make arrangements for the first meeting of the John M'Glashan College Association reported that a suitable programme had been drawn up, and that invitations had been sent out to those interested. The chairman reported that satisfactory arrangemenqts wore in progress in connection with the canvassing of Otago and Southland, which, it was hoped, would be undertaken in September. The head master's report was received, in which reference was made to a museum which the school hoped to establish as its observance of the Dominion’s centenary. It was decided that matters requiring attention on the playing fields be put in hand. , The recent football match against St. Andrew’s College had been won by the college by 25 points to 9, and the dance held after the match had been an enjoyable function. The board learned with interest that an old boy of the college, Laurence f; lovf>r. a member of the Royal Air Force, had been chosen to assist Captain Burgess as co-pilot of the Clipper flying boat which will shortly come to New Zealand, The meeting passed a motion of sympathy with the relatives of two old boys, John Robert Kcdzlio, who passed away recently after a long illness, and Herbert Neil Galbraith, who was killed in a motor accident in Hawke’s Bay.
