STUDENTS AT THE TOWN HALL

A function of much interest took place last evening at the Town Bail, when the Victoria, College graduandsoi the year Were presented to the Premier and tho Bon. James Allen, the Minister for Education, and were greeted with applause by their fel lowfi indents. There was a largo attendance of friends and interested citizens, but there is no doubt even the Town Hall will be too small to accommodate the audience on future similar occa-sions—-for, it is hoped this function will be an annual one—and the citizens of Wellington realise that their presepc© is desired by the students. There was an additional attraction last evening also, for General Sir lan Hamilton, who only arrived by the New Plymouth express, and was due at Government House soon after, looked in most pleasantly, and though obviously tired and oofd, made a splendid little speech—'straight to tho point, flie General, when departing with his staff, was cheered by the students, who gave a “war-cry” as a final farewell. The stage was carpeted with green felt, and pot plants and foliage were grouped about. Amongst the many present were the Premier and Mrs‘Massey, Miss Massey, Lady Stout, the Mayor, Mrs and Miss Luke, Mrs JEasterfield, Mrs Pioken, Mrs w 3 ™> Mrs MaeTavish, Dr Oollirts, Mr A. |de B. Brandon, and, of course, the professors, An interesting feature was the number of successful women students, who, by the way, looked none the worse for burning the midnight oil in study. Several songs were sung bv tho students, conducted by Dr Kington Fyffe, and an orchestra played at intervals. Later the students and their friends enjoyed a dance, and probably—as the General advised them to do—“made a night of it.
