UNIVERSITY FEES
POSITION OF BURSARY HOLDERS.
(By Telegraph. Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. The Education Department has informed, the New Zealand University that in future the Government intends to pay half the University .fees of holders of bursaries, with a maximum payment of £lO. Discussing the matter, Mr T. B. Strong, Director of Education, said to-day that the impression appeared to have been created that the total number of bursaries granted by the Government was to be. reduced, but such was not the case. A reduction was being made in the maximum amount to be paid under the Act. The Minister of Education had power to fix the amount to be paid, but the amount was not to exceed £2O per annum. It is stated that fully 25 per cent of the students at Victoria College will be affected by the Department's decision. In addition, a reduction in bursaries is likely to have a disastrous effect on the finances of the University.
