The late Mrs Rhodes left a bequest to Victoria College, Wellington, for the higher education of women. This fund now amounts to £12,000. Colonel Studholme, on behalf of the trustees, said that ’Dunodin, having already set up a Chair of Domestic Science, it was thought inadvisable to install another Chair, which would at once deprive Dunedin of half, of its students. He suggested devoting the income to two travelling scholarships open to Victoria College, the term to be one to three years. After twelve years they should be terminated in favour of a Chair of Home Science. The college has appointed a coramitteo to consider the proposals.
