The report of the committee, which recommended that the candidate's name be struck off the list of passes and tho roll of the university, was fixed for consideration to-morrow.

As passes in individual subjects cannot be legally recognised for matriculation purposes, the committee is of opinion that such passes should not be recognised for the purposes of tlio solicitors' general knowledge examination, and that judges of the Supreme Court he respectfully invited to consider the advisability of repealing clause 19 (page 140 of calendar), as that clause is in conflict with existing requirements of the university. The committee appointed to consider correspondence with the English agent reported as follows : —The examiners in England, at their meeting in February, 1899, decided to offer to this University a sum of £50 to constitute a scholarship, and they suggest that the scholarship should bo awarded to the candidate who lias tried for the senior scholarship, and been very near to the successful candidate. The committco understand that the examiners in England will probably have made an award, or a suggestion for an award, at their meeting in February of this year, and they think that the matter should be dealt with at a meeting of the Senate held when the written reports are received from England of the results of the last examinations. An examiner in mathematics is required in succession to Professor Lamb. For the purpose of filling this vacancy the committee suggests the following names in order of preference : —Mr. E. J. Routh, D.Sc., F.R.S., Cambridge ; Professor Bryan, D.Sc., F.R.S., University College, Bangor; Professor Loney, M.A., Royal Holloway College ; Professor Heath, M.A., Mason Science College, Birmingham. The report was adopted. The committee to whom the matter was referred, recommended that drawing be added to the list of subjects for matriculation, and that the subject should consist ol practical, plane, and solid geometry, and freehand drawing or model drawing. The report was adopted.
