Notes

Article from the New Zealand Herald
27 August 2010: As Auckland merges to create a supercity, the Herald looks back at how Auckland has changed over the years.

It was not until late in the 19th century that all children went to school and not until well into the 20th century, 1936, that all children were given a secondary education. And it was not until those children had survived World War II that large numbers of them began to go to university.

There had been barely 1000 students at university in Auckland during the war, and not many more in the years before. In 1930 there had been only 175 people studying full time in at the buildings under the clocktower that was known as Auckland University College.
