UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

BURSARY REGULATIONS On the recommendation of its education committee the Auckland University College Council decided yesterday to approach the Education Department with a view to securing an alteration in the bursary regulations for architecture and agriculture in order to allow eligibility by pupils of secondary •schools in addition to those of technical schools, the bursaries being in effect confined to technical schools at present. Mr. H t J. 1). Mahon stated that the bursaries were confined to pupils of technical schools and agricultural and technical high schools, although secondary school pupils had a broader basis of scientific instruction and were taught more advanced drawing. Ho was sure that if the change were made some good architectural students would be obtained. It was decided to place on record tho council's appreciation of the services of Mr. S. 1. Crookcs in the effort to secure the continuance of the School of Engineering. A proposal was received from the Victoria University College Council that the regulations for the Lissie Rathbone scholarships should bo amended to require that candidates must not be matriculated students of the university. It was resolved to approve the proposal. The education committee endorsed a proposal by the professorial board that during the absence of a professor on sahhai'ieal or extended leave his substitute should, where possible, be appointed acting-professor, such appointment to carry voting poWer in the board. The committee recommended that the council should consider such cases as they occurred, and that Mr. H. R. Rod well be appointed acting-professor of economics during the absence of Professor 11. Belshaw as economic adviser to the Government. The recommendation was adopted. Gifts of 31 volumes of classics from the library of the late Bishop Cowie, by his son, the Rev. J. P. Cowie, and of a number of valuable Greek texts, by Mrs. Trethewey, of Glon Eden, were acknowledged with thanks.
