enter over 150 universities throughout the world. ‘But,’ they say, ‘it is not enough only to remove academic barriers. Young people today must be made aware of the modes of thought and characteristics of other nations and races. They must come to feel sympathy with them, without becoming alienated from their own culture and society.’ The whole college programme is geared to the development of human understanding among students. All activities are under the guided control of a Student Council; students are encouraged to make friends outside the college; dress is very informal during the day, slightly more formal in the evening; there are regular Saturday evening dances and Sunday evening concerts; programmes of films, music and lectures by visiting speakers are arranged; there are no resident clergy, but students are encouraged to attend their own church; no applicant is excluded because of race, religion or political allegiance. Many sports are catered for, but first aid and swimming are the only compulsory activities in the college. It provides rescue services covering 15 miles of the Bristol channel, and every student is given training for four hours per week in the first year, then becoming involved in the Beach Rescue Unit, Cliff Rescue, Inshore Rescue Boats, Social Services, Environment Development, or a specialist First Aid Unit. Similar colleges have been set up in various parts of the world, and more are planned. Other New Zealand students are expected to go to Canada shortly. The whole project is now vested in an international council under the presidency of Lord Mountbatten, who aroused interest in the colleges when he was in New Zealand recently for the British Commonwealth Ex-Services League Conference. New Zealand has been asked to send students each year, and those interested should write to The Secretary, New Zealand National Committee, United World Colleges, Box 5087, Wellington, for further information. We wish Mamae well as an ambassador for our country, and trust that she will enjoy her two years in Wales.

Wellington Harbour Silver as no metal Ever shone Does the full moon Fall upon Still water. With the touch Of shining wonder All dross of day Fades away And dies in sheer Enchantment. Enraptured now, Caressed, Kissed, Wind-fondled, The trembling bay Bares her beauty To the black sky, To the winking stars And the glowing moon. Cool-fingered light Probing the soft cloud Finds the virgin sea, Touches her In secret places. Thus the moon And the sea And the beauty without end. Beauty before I was, Beauty when I am not. I am less than an eyelid Flicked on the face of time. But I touch my love With warm hands And heart's glow That the moon can never give And the sea can never know. Harry Dansey
