THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL IN A DIFFICULTY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Dunedin, 9th May.
The University Council appears to have a trwo-f d#ed difficulty to depl mtls. Mr. Scott, the anatomy professor, relying upon an alleged r promiso to have quarters provided for him the same as other professor^/ to-dhy made application for a real allowance, or failing that, to be allowed private practice. On this there was a very animated discussion. ' Dr. Burns moved the rejection of the application, holding that jtbe Council ought to, insist on permitting no private praQtlwf, in 4he ternis dftllei original agreement. The Vice-Chancellor and a majority of the Council took a similar view, but Judge Batbgate and tbe Hon. W. H. Reypold^- strongly opposed. JPhe forma- urged "thatHhe whole profeskorisP arrahgsmJbnts required revision, and the public should be at liberty to enjoy the professor's services to the utmost. Judge,«Batbgate pressed his amendment to that effect, but tho discussion was burked by one of the Council leaving the room rtffcfeft. there .'fms not a . quorum left. Professor Scott in a subsequent letter* charges the medical men of the town with endeavoring to injurAjthe medical school, and instances their recent regulations imposing a fee of 13 guineas for attending Hospital Lecture*, which is sim•jly wohibitoTT. The Council expressed them'ielves very strongly on the -latter matter.
