"THE HALF-WAY HOUSE."
UNIVERSITY COMMISSION'S REPORT.
INDEPENDENCE W T ILL FOLLOW.
' Reference to the importance of th* University Commission's report was made to-day at the Town Hall by Professor Segar in his capping day address. Professor Segar predicted that greater responsibility would certainly b* thrown upon the colleges in regard to courses, examinations and administration, and the Act that would be passed at the approaching session of Parliament, following the recommendations of the Commission, might be regarded *• the half-way house towards four separate universities.
"We shall be able, perhaps, to jndgbetter under the new conditions to what extent we are really qualified to assume effectively this position of independence." remarked the Professor. "In the meantime the predominant, or, rather, the general feeling, is that all should work with the single purpose of making the new scheme a success. After a few years' trial, of course, it must be judged on its merits."
