The University Council took what seemed to be an unprecedented step at its meeting last week in passing a motion of congratulations to the Drama Club for its recent "Oedipus Rex" and "Jack Winter's Dream" productions.

The council had received a letter from the principal of the Training College, Mr W. J. Scott, describing the effort as comparable with the best overseas.

In a recent broadcast Mr Scott described the production as "a milestone in New Zealand drama."

Letters were also received from Professor Somerset and Professor Ian Gordon.
