The Senate will offer for Competition fifteen junior scholarships in December next. Speaking on a motion with reference to the holding of degree examinations in smaller centres, Dr Macgregor and Professor Sale strongly urged that the organisation of the university had >jeen completed hv the establishment of a college in Wellinlgtcm, the system of granting degrees to unattached students should be abolished.
