COLONIAL AND HOME DEGREES.
The public (says th© "Otago Daily Times") ore sometimes apt to look on colonial degrees as of less value than Home degrees, .but as «n instance of 'how mistaken such an idea is we may state that a student who failed to pass toe final examination for M.B. of the New Zealand University last yw at once proceeded to London, and took'- his M.R.C.B. degree at King's College,' gaining honour* in anatomy and first place in midwifery and gynaecology, while in his other classes he was very near the top. There were between sixty and seventy competitors. Last year, out of eleven candidates who presented themselves locally, three passed, and this year, out of seventeen candidates who came forward, eleven were successful.
