Tho disabilities under which law students who went to the war aro labouring were outlined in a letter received by the executive of the Auckland Returned Soldiers' Association. The letter bore the signatures of 57 members who are law clerks or students. It was stated that when some of these men returned after service amounting sometimes to four years they found that many who had been juniors to them had qualified as solicitors. ' The' writers requested the assistance of the association in obtaining the following concessions: That every returned soldier be credited with a pass in any subject in which ho may be successful, irrespective of the total j number of passes obtained at that exami- | nation, that every returned soldier obtain- : ing 45 per cent, in any subject should be ' credited with a pass in that subject, and ; that these concessions be granted to every ] returned soldier until ho is fully qualified. : Mr E. W. Inder mentioned that the concesj sions now asked for had been given to I those who had returned early in the war, j but those who had served for much longer j periods were more entitled to rcceivo them. | It was decided to forward the requests to ■ the University Senate with the endorsement of the association.
