A special meeting of the Otago University Council W(ie held to-day to give further consideration to action previously taken by the council in relation to the editor of the students' publication, "The Critic." The following resolu. tiou was carried: —

"Thjit the council now resolves to reprimand the editor severely for the insertion in "The Critic" of the articles complained of; to exclude him from the University of Otago and its precincts until October 31, and to require him to take his future clinical training, as from June :iO, at some other centre than Dunedin." The effect of this resolution is that the editor of "The Critic," who is a sixth year medical student, will be able to complete his course this year.
