At a meeting of the V.U.C. Graduates and Past Students' Association Executive held on July 5th, Mr. G. F. Dixon reported on his preliminary work in regard to the Silver Jubilee of our College; and it was decided that all the matters in connection with it had better be dealt with by a special committee, which was elected as follows:—Mrs. Hannah, Mr. Fair, Mr. Wiren and Mr. Dixon (Hon. Sec. and Convener), with power to add to their number. Later on, Mr. D. S. Smith, Mr. H. McCormick (V.U.C. Tournament Delegate), and Mr. P. Martin-Smith (Pres. Stud. Ass.) were made members of the committee, and two meetings have already been held at which preliminary matter's were discussed, letters from past students read, and a tentative programme (appended below) submitted by Mr. Dixon.

The College Council has expressed its approval of the scheme, and has written to Dunedin to arrange that the Memorial Window be ready early in the year, so that the unveiling may take place on Good Friday, Easter 1924. The chairman of the College Council, Mr. P. Levi, and Mr. C. Watson will represent the Council on the Jubilee. Celebrations Committee.

The Professorial Board has also agreed to participate in the celebrations, and Prof. Boyd-Wilson, the Board's president, will be its representative on the Jubilee Committee.

Past students, both in New Zealand and abroad, have been written to on the matter, and most gratifying and enthusiastic replies have been received. Practically every past president and vice-president (man or woman) of the Students' Association, and many ex-students once prominent in other clubs and activities at V.C.C. (all, that, is, now resident in New Zealand), have sent letters of encouragement, promising whole-hearted support.

In Christchurch, a meeting of past students has been held, at which the Jubilee proposals were discussed and warmly approved, and several suggestions forwarded. In Dunedin, the Otago Association of Ex-Students of Y.U.C. is also considering the matter, and promises hearty support. In time, the committee here hopes to get into touch with past students in every centre in New Zealand.

A feature of the Jubilee will be, it is hoped, a special edition of "The Spike." Mrs. Hannah, Messrs. S. Eichelbaum, (G F. Dixon, and J. C. Beaglehole (Ed. "Spike") have been appointed as sub-committee to deal with this publication, and are hoping to have contributions of varied character from both professors and past students, now scattered through many parts of the world.

The Hon. Secretary has no doubt that with such enthusiasm and warm-hearted loyalty to Y.C.C. as has already been evinced, the Jubilee will be a great and memorable success.

The following is a copy of the circular which is being sent to all connected with V.C.C. who can be reached thus:—
