Excerpt from The Old Clay Patch: A Collection of Verses Written in and Around Victoria (University) College, Wellington, N. Z
It is, however, our belief that some of the verses which have appeared during this first decade of the College - in the Spike and elsewhere - have a value which it were treason to forget. Many of the students of to - day have never heard of the Ode on the Laying of the Foundation Stone. To such we hope that these verses may be very welcome.
We are persuaded that those outside the Uni versity who are interested in letters will find some promise and not a little interest in these pages.
It will be seen that most of the verses which stand out on their own merit, appear over the initials It is to Seaforth Mackenzie that we owe all that is best in our heritage of song.
