THE WEITZEL CASE.
DISCUSSED BY COLLEGE COUNCIL. , By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Oct. 13. Mr. Levi, chairman of the Victoria College Council, presented his report on Miss Weitzel, who was convicted of selling lawless literature. He said he could find nothing supporting the suggestion that her views were acquired by any teaching •or influence received in the college, or that she used any means to disseminate her views amongst the students. Her record as a student was good; her learnings and inclination came from family associations and there was no reason to believe that any student was affected with revolutionary ideas. Mr. Lomas moved that the council strongly disapproves of any of its professors or students giving recognition to any society known to encourage revolutionary socialism. This led to a warm discussion, and eventually an amendment was passed to the effect that the council had no reason to believe that any organisation of students encouraged, approved, or countenanced violence or' lawless propaganda, and considered that so long as they kept within the law students should be free to mget and control the procedure of their debates.
