UNIVERSITY DEGREES

Awarded by the Senate TWO DOCTORATES By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, Feb. 26. The following degress have been awarded by the executive committee of the Senate of the University of New Zealand. Doctor of science, C. R. Laws, Auckland. Doctor of medicine, F. 0. Beunett, Christchurch. Dr. Bennett’s thesis was of such merit that the degree was awarded without further examination. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Bristol advised that the Michael Hiatt Baker Scholarship, first awarded to A. J. Ockleston, Canterbury College, in 1933, had been extended to Mr Ockleston for a further year. This scholarship was founded in 1933 by investments transferred to the University of Bristol by Mr and Mrs Hiatt C. Baker, of Altnondsbury, Gloucester County, in memory of their son, Michael, who lost his life in the earthquake at Napier on February 3, 1931. The scholarship normally is tenable for two years, but the Bristol Vice-Chancel-lor has power to extend it for a third. No further award will therefore be made till 1936.
