University Appointments Association. THIS Association was formed in 1902, under the sanction of the Board of Trinity College, with the object of assisting Students and Graduates of the University to obtain appointments and employments at home or abroad, under the Government or otherwise. The Executive Committee of the Association keep a Register of Students and Graduates desiring appointments, with a record of their qualifications. They collect and supply to those who register, information as to posts vacant, either at home or in the Colonies, in the various branches of the Civil Service, in Medicine, Engineering, Scholastic work, &c.; and endeavour to place applicants in communication with Boards, Firms, Agencies, &c., who desire to find men to fill such posts. Those who wish to place their names on the Register should obtain from the Secretary a Form of Application, and subsequently should notify the Secretary in case of change of address. The Committee will not undertake to recommend for an appointment any applicant of whose fitness they are not satisfied. The Committee hope that Graduates who reside at a distance will join the Association as corresponding members, and will co-operate by keeping the Secretary informed as to openings that may offer in different lines. No fees are charged. All communications should be addressed to the Secretary. On 21st December, 1918, the work of the Association was reorganised to co-operate with the Ministry of Labour in meeting the situation brought about by the termination of the war. A small Committee was appointed with the following terms of reference : "To deal with the business of finding appointments and work for members of the College, especially for those who are serving with the Forces, and wish to get back to civil life on demobilisation." Subsequently this Committee was given power to co-opt additional members. Committee. Edward John Gwynn, M.A., Fellow. William E.
