"THE ALPS FROM END TO END"
ROFESSOR ARNOLD | WALL has_ appropriately chosen for his talks on the Alps of New Zealand, a title well known to the mountaineering world. The Alps from End to End is the name of one of the best and most popular books on the European Alps, by Martin Conway. Professor Wall’s right to use this title for radio talks is the best-he does know our own Alps from end to end. Professor of English at Canterbury College for many years, Arnold Wall has made botany and mountain-tramping his hobbies, and in any other spare time he has written poetry. In search of alpine plants, large numbers of which he has supplied to the herbarium at Canterbury College, Professor Wall has ranged over the whole Alpine region from Mt. Arthur in Nelson and the Northern Kaikouras to the Otago Sounds. He knows the Alps as a botfanist, as a lover of mountains, as a poet and as a humanist. One of the best of alpine poems, "A Botanist’s Farewell to the Alps," comes from him, The first of the six talks will be given from 1YA this Thursday, April 9.
