DIVINITY DEGREES.
fBX TEIiEGEAPn — SPECIAL TO THE POST.] AUCKLAND, This Day. The opposition shown to Sir Maurice O'Rorke's resolution in the Senate of the University of New Zealand affirming the desirableness of divinity degrees being granted by the University is regarded as unreasonable by an Auckland divine, with whom a reporter had a conversation yesterday. He stated that there was no reason at all to suppose that the quantity of degrees in divinity would lead in any way to denominationalisrn or sectarian complication. The D.D. degree which was granted by the English universities, he said, was open, to members of all the churches. The couise was a common one, and the degree by no means confined to one j denomination. It would, he thought, be am advantage to many clergymen in '. New Zealand if they were afforded an opportunity of taking a university D.D. degree. Probably, he thought, if the degrees were conferred they would be available, as in America, to laymen as well as to those in Holy Orders.
