AUTONOMY OF N.Z. UNIVERSITIES
"We should take some near! from the passag® through the House ol the Canterbury University Bill.” said the Chancellor (..lr D. W. Bain> at a meeting of the council of the university yesterday. “It is another stage along the road of recognition in New Zealand of full universities. Only degree-granting powers are still to be negotiated . . Yet to id] intents and purposes when we say that a student is worthy of a degree that student ?' accepted by the University of New Zealand.” A central authority was needed for the negotiation of university finance, he said. He was sure that none of the affiliated institutions would like to go back to the days when colleges approached • the Government unilaterally for finance. The university grants committee would be maintained in the hope that a centra) authority would be established.
