Prom information officially sent by the University authorities (says a London correspondent) it seems that there are at Cambridge twenty-two New Zealand students and about the same number at Oxford. Among those resident at Jesus College are G. F. McHardy (Palmerston North), in his second year, taking Agriculture. Miss C. E. Wylie (Palmerston North) is taking Institutional Administration at King’s College for Women (University of London), Plousehold and Social Science Department. In moving that a vote of sympathy be passed to Mrs. P. Mowlem in the death of her husband, the Mayor (Hr, F. J. Nathan) at last night’s meeting the the Council, made brief reference to the interest Mr. Mowlem had taken in the town since its infancy and the good work he had accomplished while connected with the Beautifying Society.
