FACULTY OF THEOLOGY.
SUCCESS IN EJTGLAND, • ' DR. RANS TON'S ADVOCACY, '% Recalling that some time ago a reeo? lution had been passed by the council in favour of the conferring of divinity degrees by the New Zealand University, Dr. H. Ranston said yesterday at a meeting of the Auckland University Council, that a theology faculty lhad been inaugurated in at least two of the large universities in England — London and Manchester —and that, since their inception, they had made great progress. So far from causing dissension among the college faculties (as those against the scheme had thought probable), the school of divinity had lived in complete harmony, while discord had not been unknown in the other courses. "The feeling has been growing," Dr. Ranston declared, "that theology can be taught scientifically. I believe that when the Auckland College comes into its own as a separate university, our theological' colleges will be affiliated to the university."
