WELLINGTON COLLEGE.

Canterbury Branch of Old Boys’ Association. An attempt is being - made to arouse mjerest in the Canterbury branch of the YVellington College Old Boys’ Association and at the annual meeting of the branch lust evening various means were discussed by which the old boys of the college residing in the city could be brought into touch with each other. Jt was decided to hold monthly luncheons, and the suggestion was made that occasional smoke concerts should also be held. About twenty attended the meeting, which was presided over by Mr W. Hamilton. Mr Hamilton, in explaining the absence of an annual report, said that the branch had not had an active life during the year. This was to be regretted and it was hoped that the social life of the branch would be revived in the coming year. Mr A. E. Caddiek put forward suggestions that the branch should hold annual or quarterly dinners, and that the association might obtain the use of club rooms in the city. On the motion of Mr G. L. Austin it was decided to hold monthly luncheons, the first to be held on the second Monday in April. Officers were elected as follows: President, Mr W. Hamilton; vice-presi-dents, Dr L. M. Molineaux, the Rev O. W. Williams and Mr R. H. Mitchell; chairman of committee, Mr A. E. Caddick; secretary, Mr A. J. Coveney; treasurer, Mr H. R. Sampson; executive, Messrs R. J. O. Collins, C. P.
