BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION

CHRISTCHURCH, Jan

The University Senate this morning agread that candidates for the bachelor di arts degree be permitted to take Hebrew as a repeat subject, the definition of the words "for .examination" to be revised to bring Hebrew into line with Greek and Latin.

A motion by the Rev. A. Cameron to permit candidates for matriculation over twenty years of age to take the examination in two parts was lost.

A committee was set up to consider means of encouraging the study of history and to confer with teachers in colleges and secondary schools on the subject.

It was agreed to apply to London University for recognition of the matriculation examination of New Zealand University, also to invite the commissioners of the 1851 exhibition to offer their science scholarship annually.
