Examination triumphs may possibly make up for ignominious experiences at the Easter Tournament. Seven Senior Scholarships at one fell swoop must be something of a record for V.U.C.—congratulations to all concerned! Very hearty congratulations also to Mr. J. Thompson, M.A., and Mr. R. H. Espiner, M.A., who have been granted free passages to Europe. Mr. Thompson took his degree at Otago, but has since the end of the war, in which he served with distinction, been a fine and muchappreciated lecturer in French at V.U.C. Mr. Espiner was very badly wounded in France, and although working under the most formidable disabilities has had a brilliant college career in languages. Those who know them know also that no men ever more thoroughly deserved the little honour we can give them—wherever they go, they will carry our interest and best wishes. Best wishes also to Miss E. A. Pope, M.Sc, who has been granted a free passage Home to carry out her work as the first Sarah Anne Rhodes Scholar. And congratulations to Miss Vera B. Reader, Sir George Grey Scholar for 1921, Mr. M.N. Rogers, National Research Scholar, and Mr. R. F. Fortune, who as awarded the Habens Prize.
