With extreme regret we record the severance of the last but the strongest link that officially binds G.F. Dixon to Victoria College. Eight years back he was elected one of the first two Victoria College delegates on the New Zealand University Tournament Committee, and now after eight years of faithful service we sorrowfully see his passing. But there remains a monument to his ceaseless labours, one that will endure the Tournament existed merely in the imagination at his first connection, but Dixon foresaw possibilities. Who shall not say that his fondest hopes and ambitions were long ago realised. It is often laid at our doors that we are forgetful of the fact that there is a New Zealand University and that we are but members of different Colleges; but such could not be said of the retiring delegate. He nominally represented Victoria College on the Tournament Committee, but while carefully watching out interests, his energies have ever been towards the permanent establishment of the great Easter function. To him each of the sister Colleges is in turn indebted. His services have always been at their disposal in the arrangement of travelling concessions, and none shall miss him and his thorough business methods more than the officials of the Railway Department and the Union S.S. Company. As manager of Victoria College teams every Tournament representatives knows his value, but the immense amount of work accomplished by him can only be known to those who have had the pleasure of working with him. Victoria College will truly miss him.
