N.Z. UNIVERSITY SENATE.
(Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Jan. 21. The business session of the Senate of the New Zealand University opened today. The Chancellor (Sir Robert Stout), in his address, drew attention to the liberal provision made last session by Parliament for the encouragement of higher education, remarking that perhaps of all the large appi opriations of public money made by our Parliament none will be so productive as this grant for education. The balance to the credit of the University funds for the financial year was £2540 in the general account and £2359 in the scholarship account. At the annual entrance and degree examinations the number of candidates was only in excess of last year’s. The number who sat was 2413, against 1501 in 1918; in 1918 there were 2374 candidates for entrance examinations and scholarships, and in 1919 there were 2798. The Chancellor referred to the growth of the administration work, calling attention to the need for some relief being obtained. Considering the stress and strain to which students were subjected to nt the 1918 examination, he thought the general reports of tho examiners in England exceedingly satisfactory.
