The first professional year would start next year although some students had already started studies in Auckland. .Professor Hall said the University of Otago department required “a substantial upgrading of facilities and the courses needed a i greater engineering coni tent.” The department has six academic staff and a student roll of about 65 [ including intermediate t students.
