The University Senate this morning agreed that candidates for the bachelor of arts degree be permitted to takis Hebrew as a repeat subject, the definition of the words "for examination" to be revised to bring Hebrew into line with Greek and Latin.
A motion by the Eev. A. Cameron to permit candidates for matriculation over twenty 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 London University for recognition of the matriculation examination of New Zealand University, also to invite the commissioners of the 18.")1 exhibition to offer their science scholarship annually.
