UNIVERSITY SENATE.
DUPLICATION OF FORESTRY SCHOOLS. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 17. The University Senate resolved that there was no need in New Zealand for two forestry schools and the Academic Board was instructed to prepare a report as to the best means of overcoming their duplication. The question whether there should be any differentiating between students who attend University lectures, and those who by reason of their residence in country districts are debarred from doing so, was discussed by the Senate which decided that, under the present conditions, there should be no alteration in the regulations in regard to the examination of such students. The Academic Board recommended that students who did not attend the lectures should not be qualified to proceed to University degrees. The general opinion was expressed by members of the Senate that this would be too radical a move under, the existing conditions. __ It-was pointed out that the Universities were not residential, and if the Academic Board’s proposal were carried there were many students in the country districts who were forced to earn their-living who would be debarred from the.advantages of a University education. The Academic Board’s recommendation was negatived on the .voices.
