Wellington College
Proud of its motto, “Lumen accipe et imperii,” interpreted as “Receive the light and hand it on,” Wellington College is also proud of its early foundation in 1853 by Sir George Grey, of its fine record in scholarships, games, athletics and of the achievements of so many of its old boys in after life. Wellington College is situated on a very healthy site in spacious grounds comprising over 50 acres of flats and hillside. Tho climate is invigorating and the opportunities for healthy development and study are almost unrivalled. While centrally situated in a metropolitan area, with all the advantages accruing thereto, yet tbo college is secluded in position owing to the wide open spaces all around it. The boarding department, housed in modern, well-equipped buildings, has built up a reputation for careful attention to health, dietary, physical development and study, and boarders have the advantage of all facilities for games, swimming, etc. The fees are moderate and details for boarders arc furnished in tho prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained on application to the secretary, Box 19, Wellington, or the headmaster.
Tho first term for 3940 commences on Tuesday, February 6, boarders goiDg into reidence on the previous day.
