25 YEARS AGO
Purpose of Matriculation Examination (From “The Dominion,” July 27, 1912.) The matriculation examination is to be still further broadened in nature. During his lecture before the Insurance Institute at Auckland on Wednesday evening, Dr. McDowell, who is a member of the University Senate, said that the examination was intended for a ground work for all professions, and the wider the'range the better. The university intended the examination to be conducted on a wide basis, and it was wished that the passing of the examination should be a general qualification, and not a mere passport leading to the higher examinations of special professions. * ♦ » Mr. Robert Parker, the doyen of Wellington’s conductors and musicians, who has retired from the conductorship of the ‘Wellington Musical Union, was the central figure of a very pleasing ceremony which took place in St. Andrew’s Schoolroom last evening. Mr. Parker was presented with a purse containing £l5O. * # # Mr. Hay, the English expert appointed to report on the congestion of traffic in Sydney, recommends an underground railway mid a bridge across the harbour from Blues Point to Dawes Point to carry electric trams.
