At the la«t meeting of the Auckland University Council a letter was received from the Rev. G. Gordon Bell (says the Star), in which he outlined the system of “licensed lodgings” in force at Oxford. He suggested that something of the sort might be adopted in Auckland. Under the scheme students would lodge only in houses approved hy the university authorities, each student having his own study and bedroom, and the houses bein'* open to inspection by the proctors at any time. “That might be all right in Oxford or Cambridge, bui it is not in use at London, Leeds, and Manchester. where conditions are comparable with Auckland.” said Professor H. W. Segar. He considered that it would be impracticable here. However, the matter was referred to the Professorial Board.
