University Site
Sir, —Apparently there is still a possibility of retaining the present site for Canterbury University buildings, and those against the unwise transfer to Ham should lose no oppbrtunity to protest against any such change. Once made it is beyond, remedy, and it will be thus all the more galling that the protests made were too feeble to convince the authorities concerned that a vast majority of our citizens strongly favour the status quo. I never meet with anyone who looks favourably on far-away Ham. There is nothing to prevent the ultimate annexation of the whole block of land in Worcester street, with due compensation to the present householders, and this would supply the / needs of the university for generations to come. Back Dr. Jobberns enthusiastically against the proposed change, lest “silence gives consent."—Yours, etc., STATUS QUO. May 6, 1957.
