VICTORIA COLLEGE.

■AN INTERESTING REVIEW. [BY TELEGRAPH, OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington*, Thursday. A meeting of the Victoria, College Council was held last night. Sir Robert Stout (the chairman) gave the following interesting! particulars of the operations of the college. Twenty-five passed their degree examinations. There were 10 in the first section of the 8.A.; eight in the final section of the B.A. ; one in the first section of the B.Sc. This student, in consequence of the Victoria College having no professor of geology, had had to go to Auckland to continue his course. Four passed the first section of the LL.B. ; one passed the barristers' general knowledge, and one passed the barristers' final. In the whole of the examinations there were only eight failures, and only one failure in the' LL.B., which showed that the Victoria College stood higher than the other colleges in that respect. Another exceedingly gratifying feature was that the number of students was increasing in almost every class. The number at present on the roll was 138, not including those who had been enrolled for political economy, and he believed that three more would be enrolled for geology. He expected that the number of students would go up to at least 150, which would be the highest of all the university colleges in the colony.
