Colombo Plan Students in New Zealand. Colombo Plan students who are studying at Canterbury Agricultural College, near Christchurch, New Zealand, visit the Canterbury Museum, which has a large Maori and Polynesian hall. Here, where specimens of traditional Maori and Polynesian carving are exhibited, the Asian students are interested in a Maori war canoe. Left to right: R.E.
