The Spike Golden Jubilee Number May 1949

University of Glasgow

The university of glasgow has heard with great pleasure that in March, 1949, the Victoria University College of Wellington will celebrate its Jubilee. The University desires to send to Victoria University College a message of greeting and of most cordial wishes.

The University recalls the intimate association of Scotland with the Dominion of New Zealand, and especially the part taken by graduates of the Scottish Universities in building the Colleges and University of New Zealand. Of that association, one fortunate example is the service of Sir John Rankine Brown, a Foundation Professor of the University College and its first Professor of Classics, who assumed his long duty in Wellington after a period of service in the University of Glasgow. The University rejoices also that the Victoria University College and its sister Colleges have amply paid the dues of their nurture, and that they have notably advanced the education, scholarship and science of the Dominion and of the British Commonwealth of Nations.

Sharing in the tradition which inspires Victoria University College and facing in its own land the same high tasks, the University of Glasgow congratulates the College on the achievement of the first fifty years, and wishes for it a long and happy and distinguished future in the promotion of good learning and of a wise and enlightened citizenship.
