4. Professors and Lecturers. —During the year the following appointments have been made to the staff of the School of Mines: Mining engineering—Professor Arthur Jarman, A.R.S.M. (Lond.), A.I.M. and M., Lond., M.A.1.M.E.; applied mechanics, steam-engine, and machine drawing—Mr. 8. E. Lamb, B.Sc. Hons., London, A.E.C.S., A.M.I.M.E. The College staff otherwise remained unaltered. On the 19th March leave of absence for twelve months was granted to Professor F. D. Brown. On the 17th September the Council approved of Professor Brown arranging with Mr. F. P. Worley, M.A., to fill his position as Professor of Chemistry and Physics during his absence in 1907. 5. School of Mines. —The Council has had some delay in establishing the School of Mines on a satisfactory basis. The grounds pertaining to the present site did not admit of any portion being available for the erection of a temporary building in which to store the apparatus required, and without which the School of Mines could not be satisfactorily carried on. In the prospect of a site for the new buildings being provided shortly, it appeared to the Council to be wiser to delay for a little the erection of any building until this point was decided. But, meanwhile, a professor has been engaged in preliminary work—securing books, lantern-slides, and plans for the requirements of the future. An additional grant from the Government is urgently required, if the School of Mines is to be made a success, and that this will be forthcoming is to be confidently expected. The Council has resolved to secure in England a lecturer in mechanical drawing, steam-engine, and applied mechanics. 6.
