UNIVERSITY INQUIRY
CLAIMS OF TEACHERS AND
CLERGY.
{BI TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
DUNEDIN, This Day. At the University Commission, the Otago Educational Institute submitted evidence viewing with alarm the suggestions of restrictions of the number of evening classes. The system of day classes rendered it impossible for teachers to graduate. The institute had no desire to see the door to a degree closed in the face of teachers, as the divorcing of the university from the teaching profession would be unnatural. Many of the leading figures in the professions were products of the part-time system. A deputation of clergy, representing various denominations, submitted a lequest for the establislunent of degrees in theology. The speakers contended that there would not be difficulty regarding the doctrines of the various churches. It was felt that the clergy in New Zealand were isolated from the higher learning in theology.
