SIR E. RUTHERFORD
CIVIC WELCOME TO NELSON. [Per Pres* Association. | NELSON, Oct. 29. Sir E. Rutherford was awarded a civic welcome by a great gathering of citizens. In replying, ho said he could say in a sense he was in his homo town. He wtis born at Springgrove (near Nelson), attended the Foxhill School at five years of age, then went to Havelock School and from there won a scholarship, taking him to Nelson College. Sir Ernest Rutherford said he owed a very great deal to Nelson College. It was a very great pleasure to ibe back to the scenes of his boyhood “I feel the fact that so many have assembled is not so much h welcome to me individually but a welcome to me from the fact that I was born in tho Nelson district and in recognition of the fact that a Nelsonian has beer, able to achieve some distinction and hold up the end of New Zealand in tho world.”
