SENATE DECISIONS
MATRICULATION AGE.
(Per Press Association. —Copyright.)
CHRISTCHURCH, January 21
The age for provisional Matriculation will be lowered from 25 to 21 years, accordng to a motion carried today by the Senate of the University of New Zealand. The object of the clause is to admit some persons under certain conditions who have not passed the university entrance examination, but who desire, and are thought reasonably fit, to pursue a course of the University. The clause, as it stands at present, allows such provisional culations to be granted to persons under 25 vears old.
This course was adopted by the Senate orginally to provide for returned soldiers, allowing them to take a University course without fosmally passing the entrance examination. At first the pge was 30 years, and it was later reduced to 25. It is now reduced to 21. The honorary degree of Doctor of Literature was conferred on Diamond Jenness by the State on. the recommendation of the Academic Hoard’. Dr. Jenness was formerly a student at Victoria University graduating VI.A. in 1908, with first-class honours in classics.
