UNIVERSITY SENATE
(Per United Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, Jan. -25. At the Senate this morning it was agreed that candidates for the Bachelor of Ans degree be permitted to take Hebrew as a repeat subject, the definition of “word” for “examinations” to be revised to bring Hebrew into line with Greek and Latin. A motion by the Rev. H. Cameron to permit matriculation candidates over 20 years of age to take the examination in two parts was lost. A committee was set up to consider means of encouraging the study of history, and to confer with teachers in colleges and secondary schools on the subject. It was agreed to apply to the London University for recognition of the matriculation examination of the New Zealand University; also to invite the Commissioners of the 1851 Exhibition to offer their science scholarship annually.
