NEW SCHOLARSHIPS PROVIDED
SENATE OF NEW ZEALAND UNIVERSITY (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, January 20. Two new travelling scholarships in commerce and in dentistry were provided by the Senate of the University of New Zealand in its sessions today. Both of these were made possible by the renewal of the Government’s grant to university finances. Both scholarships will be of the annual value of £250, the commerce scholarship being offered every second year and being tenable only by a Master of Commerce with first-class honours of not more than three vears’ standing. In the case of the dental scholarship, the holder shall proceed within 15 months of the award to some recognized school or schools in Europe or America.
A number of alterations were made concerning th. examinations for the Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts and honours. These still have to be finally approved and will not come into force until next year.
The proposed change in the award of the Macmillan Brown and Haben’s essay prizes resulted in these being made available every two years instead of everv three years as at present. Sir Thomas Hunger was reappointed vice-chancellor of the University of New Zealand for a further term of three years.
