Adams; normal school exhibitioners — John Pringle, John Bruntou, G. King, E. G. Lillie, A. Spence, J. Porteous, and M. A. Sinclair. In order to complete the staff of the School of Mines the Council received assistance from the Government towards the expense of procuring a duly-qualified lecturer on assaying and metallurgy from England, and Professor Eobert Austin, at the request of the Agent-General for New Zealand, acting for the Council, selected Mr. D. Wilkinson, Bessemer Medallist of the Eoyal School of Mines, England, F.C.S., &c. Mr. Wilkinson, after selecting some material for the laboratory in London, travelled by way of America, visiting the chief centres of mining industry on his way, and commenced liis duties in Dunedin in February. A large building has been erected during the past year for the special accommodation of the School of Mines, at a cost of over £1,000. The building is well provided with the requisite furnaces and fittings for practical work, and the necessary appliances for class-teaching. A full syllabus of the course of study is appended in Schedule A. During the vacation most of the students have gained practical experience in mines in various parts of the colony. There are at present twenty-one students attending the classes in the school. This year, in accordance with the decision of the Council, the session commenced on the first Monday in April, a month earlier than heretofore. By this arrangement the number of lectures will be increased, and a somewhat longer period will be given at the midwinter vacation. In the early part of the year Mr. Mansford, who had long and faithfully served the University as Eegistrar, passed to his rest, .and the Council appointed as his successor Mr. A. Hamilton, of Napier. In the teaching-staff several changes have taken place. Professor Sale, one of the original members of the University staff, was granted six months' leave of absence in consequence of his failing health. The Council appointed the Eev. A. E. Fitchett as a locum lenens. Dr. Maunsell,

E.-6

the lecturer on surgery, also received leave of absence, and Dr. Barnett was appointed to carry on the duties of the lectureship for this session. The lecturer on the German language, Dr. Bulau, resigned the appointment which he had held for many years. The Council have not yet chosen his successor. In connection with the staff of the School of Mines the following appointments have been made : Lecturer on geology, Alexander Purdie, M.A. ; lecturer on applied mechanics, John Thomson, 8.E.; lecturer on mine and land surveying, Matthew Begg. Messrs. A. E. Barclay, 8.A., LL.B., and W. A. Stout, 8.A., LL.B., were reappointed lecturers on constitutional history and law, and on the law of property, respectively. To these must be added Mr. D. W. Wilkinson, the lecturer on assaying and metallurgy, engaged specially from England, with the co-operation of the Government, for the furthering of the mining interests of the colony. Although the Government have seen fit to abolish the "office of .Government Analyst, ; formerly held by Professor Black, the chemical laboratory is still a/vailable for public service;! Professor Black performing all analyses requiring wet reagents, and Mr. Wilkinson, all analyses of ores and coals at the School of Mines. Among the benefactions received during the past year from other sources may be mentioned a contribution for physical apparatus from the Presbyterian Church Board of Property of £60 7s. 4d., and the expenditure of the legacy of £100 left by the late Professor Mainwaring Brown on books for the library in the department of English literature. The Council have been much engaged during the past year in considering the internal administration and arrangements of the various faculties, and have decided to constitute a faculty of medicine, for the better organization and conduct of the medical classes of the University and in the Hospital. The Council have appointed Professor J. H. Scott as the first Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, and the Chairman of the Hospital staff for the time being Vice-Dean, —Dr. Coughtrey being the first occupant of the office. (Schedule B.) The Council have also made arrangements for receiving monthly reports and returns of lectures, &c, from all professors and lecturers. The Council have pleasure in reporting that the Museum of the University has been greatly increased in area by the erection a temporary wing, and a great number of valuable exhibits have been received from the Government of this colony, and from the Government of New South Wales. The work of arranging these has been ably carried out by Professor T. J. Parker, F.R S., the curator, and his efficient staff. The present condition of the Museum is a credit to the University, and to all concerned. The Art Society of Dunedin have deposited their collection of pictures in a public art gallery, which has been erected by public subscriptions, and forms part of the Museum addition. The whole is under the care of the Museum Curator. The balance-sheet for the year ending the 31st March, 1891, is appended. I have, &c, D. M. Stuabt, D.D., Chancellor. His Excellency the Earl of Onslow, G.C.M.G., &c, Governor of New Zealand.

SCHEDULE A.—SCHOOL OJ? MINES. Regulations and Plan of Instruction. 1. The session is the same as in the arts course, commencing in the first week in April, and lasting for six months. The mode of instruction is by systematic courses of lectures in the prescribed branches of study, in connection with written and oral examinations, by practical work in the laboratories ; and also, according to circumstances and opportunities, by inspection of mines, and by field excursions. 2. The classes are open to all persons over fifteen years of age. There is no entrance examination, but students enrolling themselves are expected to possess a fair knowledge of English and arithmetic, as well as some acquaintance with elementary mathematics, since otherwise they will derive little benefit from the lectures, and can scarcely hope to pass examinations which are held at the termination of each year's course. 3. The fees are the same as those charged in the arts course—namely, £3 3s. for each course of lectures occupying not less than three hours per week during the whole session, £1 10s. 6d. for any course occupying two hours per week, and £1 Is. for a course of one hour per week. In addition to the class fees, students are required to pay a college fee of £1 Is. per session. All fees must be paid in advance to the Registrar, including also ss. for microscope fee. 4. There are four divisions in the mining school—the mining, the metallurgical, the geological, and the mine surveying. In the first three divisions the course of study can be completed in three years, and in the fourth division in two years, provided students enter in years ending with an odd number, as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and strictly follow the curriculum prescribed for each division. They may enter in intermediate years, but owing to certain lecture courses being' given only in alternate years they will require an additional year for passing through the curriculum, unless they take more than the ordinary number of classes. Students who pass the examinations in any of the first three divisions obtain the distinction or title with diploma of '' Associate of the University School of Mines, Otago." On passing successfully the examination in the fourth division they are entitled to receive the certificate of " Mining Surveyor." 5. Students may qualify themselves for certificates in two or more of the above-named divisions by attending the lectures, passing the examinations in the special subjects, and conforming to the rules regarding practical work (see Eegulation 10) prescribed for the respective divisions. For example : A student following the course laid down for the associateship in the mining division may obtain also a certificate in the metallurgical division by attending the classes of metallurgy and going through the extended course of metallurgical laboratory practice specially prescribed for tho latter division. It will not, however, generally be possible to complete such combined course within three years.

6. Instruction in drawing is provided at the School of Art. Certificates from the master of the School of Art that the prescribed courses in drawing have been gone through to his satisfaction will be required in all cases. 7. Examinations in the different branches of study are held in the month of October in each year, and students who have attended any course of lectures in the Mining School, and who have passed the examination in such course, will receive certificates to that effect. If a student fail to pass the October examination in any subject, an opportunity will be given him to pass in the same subject in October of the following year; and if he again fail to pass, he will be required to attend the lectures in that subject a second time. 8. It is competent for the Professorial Board to grant exemption from attendance at any course of lectures in the mining school to such students as produce satisfactory evidence that they have received sufficient instruction in the subject of which these lectures treat; but such students are, notwithstanding, required to pass the October examination in that subject. 9. Students who have passed the first section of the degree examination in the New Zealand University, and graduates of the New Zealand University, or of any University recognised in the statutes ad eundem of the New Zealand University, shall be exempted from examination in subjects which they have already passed at their respective Universities, but none shall be exempted from examination in physics, natural science, or chemistry, unless he has gone through a practical as well as a theoretical course of instruction. Those who are entitled to complete exemption from attendance at lectures and examinations in subjects indicated above, and who enter subject to the provision stated in Eegulation 4, can complete the course of study in any of the first three divisions of the mining school in two years by following the special curriculum prescribed for the chosen division. 10. Students who have passed the class examinations in all the branches of study prescribed for any division are entitled, without further examination, at the termination of their course to the diploma or certificate of that division ; provided that students of the mining division shall be required before receiving their diplomas to produce satisfactory evidence that they have spent at least twelve months in practical study in mines, and that students of the surveying division shall be required to produce satisfactory evidence that they have had six months' practice in mine and land surveying. 11. The certificates of all the divisions of the school are signed by the Chancellor or ViceChancellor of the University, the Chairman of the Professorial Board, and the Director of the School of Mines, and are sealed with the seal of the University. 12.
