The following historical developments are covered: honors programs at Columbia College in the early 1900s, the idea of honors as a separate upper division program at Swarthmore College; and St. John's College's Great Books curriculum, which has similarities with honors programs.

In addition to the circulated Agenda: Iain Laxon, CEO of Auckland Cricket, will be attending our AGM and, as he has done so willingly in the past, will update us on Auckland Cricket matters. This is an opportunity for us to ask Iain for more information on the tragic circumstances of Eden Park now not economically viable and likely to be demolished, and explain • why the bureaucratic process is so impossibly difficult that Auckland can only host two International T20s in 2018/19? • how New Zealand, let alone Auckland, will ever again host a World Cup or ODIs against the likes of Australia, India, England and South Africa where sellout crowds have regularly numbered 45,000+ in the recent past? Note the following seating capacities: Western Springs Stadium, Auckland 20,000 (projected) Seddon Park, Hamilton 10,000 Westpac Stadium, Wellington 34,500 Bay Oval, Tauranga 10,000 McLean Park, Napier 19,700 Saxton Oval, Nelson 6,000 Basin Reserve, Wellington 13,000 University Oval, Dunedin 3,500 Note further - Eden Park • 1920s - built by cricketers for cricket, rugby invited to share (and so make economically viable) to provide a stadium so Auckland could host international games of both codes • 1950s – Empire Games held there plus international Hockey and Football games.
