“We should not mind if the noise wore intelligent,’’ says an editorial in the magazine of the Victoria University College Students’ Association, in discussing interruptions at university gatherings. “Universities exist for the cultivation of intel'igence, and manifestations of it at public meetings would be at least encouraging. Besides, a person who comes to hear a speaker or musician does not mind being entertained equally well by someone else. Vet—the statement cannot bo refuted—the interjections during the last few years have not betrayed the slightest; modicum of intelligence. We believe that this is duo to the fact, that students with any intelligence have more self-respect than to interrupt. There has boon nothing more than a confused babble of tongues—student shouting to his neighbour with an entire disregard for all his other neighbours, interspersed at times with a senseless and incoherent concerted movement.” A BANKER’S OPINION.
