UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS. Press Association. WELLINGTON, May 2. It lias been decided by the Becess Committee of the New Zealand University Senate that returned soldiers applying for provisional registration and taking a course of study for which lectures are not provided at the collego to which they are attached, "will have their provisional registration confirmed if they pass a section of their examination at the end of tho year. Where facilities for lectures are afforded, a student must attend classes and sit for the college examinations and the Professorial Board shaH advise the Senate at the end of tho student's first year whether his matriculation should be confirmed.

Application lias been made to the Judges of the Supreme Court that provisional matriculation should also cover the requirements for the law professional examination, hut the Judges have deeided that they cannot allow Latin to be waived, and students must pass in that subject to complete the solicitor's general knowledge examination.
