Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 20, No. 3. 4th April, 1957
[Introduction]
Victoria College; an untidy agglomeration of buildings of varying sites and architectural styles clustered on a site better suited for breeding lambs than building a hall of learning—how the blares did it get there?
When Victoria was founded in 1899 (see last issue), like little orphan Annie she had a name but no home to call her own.
Classes were scattered around the City in odd rooms—in the old Technical School in Victoria Street, and the Girls' College and a select private school (now Thorndon Fire Station) in Pipitca Street. The 98 foundation students ran through the streets from lecture to lecture.
