For the second year Auckland has been the scene of the great event of the College year, and once more she has put in a strong claim to be regarded as the ideal centre for the meeting. The happy remembrances in the minds of those who visited Auckland in 1903 inspired high hopes in the breasts of this year's team, and if any expectations were not fully realized, they must have been high indeed. Apart from the good time enjoyed by all, Victoria College has every reason to feel proud of the success of her 1907 team—the Joynt Debating Scroll and the Tennis Cup returning to Kelburne, while the Athletic Shield only just escaped a like destination. The Relay Race trophy and the Ladies' cup, held by the winner of most points in the Athletic Championship, would, with the Scroll and the Tennis Cup, adorn her entrance hall, but for the fact that the Council regard the dignity of athletic trophies as deserving nothing less than elevation to the students' common page 14 room. Two Hockey matches also to swell the list of her triumphs. One of the most pleasing features of the gathering from our point of view, was the whole-hearted way in which our representatives in the various contests were supported by their comrades—as instance the number present at Devonport on the second morning. In the hour of success we must not forget the future, and the existence of this spirit in our ranks is very cheering. Long may it continue to flourish, for while such a spirit of enthusiasm and energy remains, its strength will alike enable Victoria College to achieve further successes an aid her in bearing without disappointment those failures which may be brought upon her by the merits of her rivals.
