The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review October 1905
[Introduction]
On the evening of June 10th, W. Gillanders presided over a social organized by the V.C. Christian Union. Besides V.C. students, many members of the secondary schools Christian Unions were present by invitation, The first part of the entertainment took the form of a concert, to which the Missers Frühauf, Evans, Dale, Ward and Isaacs, and the Glee Club contributed . Only three men were bold enough to appear in the ranks of the last named, and their voices were, to the weal or woe of the audience, naturally somewhat submerged.
Miss Mclean in returning thanks on behalf of the High School girls that were present, said she regarded the V.C. Union as the mother Union, an honour to which the blushing president, Gillanders, in reply, seemed somewhat loth to lay claim.
The evergreen Celebrities brought a most enjoyable evening to a close.
