ADMISSIONS TO UNIVERSITY
RELAXATION OF RESTRICTION
No applications will be required for admission to Canterbury University College for the 1948 session. This recommendation of the college committee was approved by the College Council yesterday afternoon. For intermediate and science courses, however, the right was reserved to refuse or restrict admission of applicants according to qualifications. A warning was given that students who failed to enrol before lectures begin might have to be excluded.
Asked after the meeting for further details, the rector (Professor A. H. Tocker) said that it appeared that the peak of enrolments for stage I subjects, caused by the heavy influx of returned servicemen after the war, had been passed. It was not expected that entries to these lectures would have to be limited next year. There was still serious congestion in some intermediate divisions and science courses, so the right to restrict enrolments had been reserved until numbers were known. Enrolments would again be made in the normal way.
