UNIVERSITY SENATE.

Christchurch, March 4. At the University Senate to-day, on the motion of Sir Robert Stout, it was resolved that scholarships should, as soon as the University funds permit, bo founded for those who are students in medicine, engineering, mining, agriculture and law. On the motion of Professor Shand it was resolved “ That the Statutes Committee be asked to amend the statuto of scholarships in such manner that junior scholars who fail to keep the terms and to pass the examinations prescribed in the B.A. course or in the ordinary B.Sc. course, as distinguished from the special or professional B.Sc. couises, shall cease to hold their scholarships.” A motion expressive of the sense of the great loss the Colony suffered by the death of the late Dr Stuart, chancellor of the Otago University, was carried. An ad interim report of the committee of medical questions recommended that the following be admitted to examination in April:—C. A. Pemberton, in chemistry ; R. N. Adams, in biology ; W. Sutherland, in biology; E. S. Melhuish, in physics; H. N. R. Child, in chemistry; Alice Woodward, in chemistry. The report was adopted. It was reported that A. Gr. Henderson, Canterbury College, was the winner of the Bowen prize, 1894.
