The career of Mr Solomon, one of the new King'^ Counsel, is described as being an apt illustration of the benefits to be obtained from New Zealand's generous educational scheme. Commencing his studies at a State school, he passed in 1869 to the Otago Boys' High School* by the aid of a Provincial Government scholarship. He became dux of that school in 1871 and thence passed by a colonial scholarship to Otago University College, of which institution he and the late Mr R. S. Hay were the first graduates. A Dunedin correspondent advises that Messrs Bell and Baume, two of the other X.C.'s, are also Otago Boys' High School 'old boys."
