PRESENTATION OF DIPLOMAS.

(By Telegraph —Press Association^)

DUNEDIN, Friday.

There was a large attendance of Otago graduates and undergraduates at the Choral Hall, Dunedin, on Friday, when Sir James Hector, the Chancellor, presented the diplomas of the New Zealand University to the graduates of the Otago University. The Chancellor's address was on the lines of that in Auckland. There was one thing, he said, he did not know how to account for. There had been 102 different individuals irom Otago, who had taken honours in .the New Zealand University, and that was an enormous proportion, considering that there were only about ISO graduates altogether who had taken the higher degree with honours. Diplomas -were presented as follows:—One Doctor of Laws, one M.D. (Dr. Chappie, of Wellington, was not present), three M.8., 13 Master or Arts, four being ladies; 14 Bachelors of Arts, three ladies; four Bachelors of Science and one Bachelor of Laws. AGdresses were given by Professors Gilray and Sale| Mr Justice Williams (Chancellor), and Air E. B. Cargill (Vice-Chan-cellor Otago University). The students are not holding any special celebration.
