TRAINING OF STUDENTS
Senate Declines D.S.LR. Offer
(New Zealand Press Association/ DUNEDIN, August 8.
Mr L. J. Wild, Pro-Chancellor of the University of New Zealand, told the University Senate today that the executive committee had declined an offer from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, offering the use of. facilities to assist in the training of students at the Ph.D. level,’ This was done “for reasons which I won’t go into, but which are well known by those* who have taken an interest in the matter.”
... The offer had represented something of a challenge, said Mr Wild. “I won’t follow that point up, either.” The Academic Board reported that, while acknowledging assistance from the D.5.1.R., it did not consider it to be •in the university’s best interest to embark on a system of extra-mura] training for candidates for advanced decrees.
The Senate decided that, in view of the special facilities possessed by the D.5.1.R., the universities and agricultural colleges should enter into discussions with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research to explore the conditions under which university staff could secure access to. such equipment facilities as the D.S.LR. may offer.
