[. EXTRACT PROM THE THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OP THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION. HIGHER EDUCATION New Zealand University and Affiliated Colleges. The New Zealand University, the body which has general control of higher education in New Zealand, was founded by the New Zealand University Acts of 1870, 1874, and 1875. In 1876 the University was recognized by Royal charter as entitled to grant the degrees of Bachelor and Master in Arts, and Bachelor and Doctor in Law, Medicine, and Music. The Amendment Act, of 1883, and the supplementary charter issued in December of the same year, added the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor of Science. Moreover in 1904, the University Degrees Act gave the University authority to confer degrees of Doctor of Literature, Master of Laws, Surgery, and Science, and Bachelor, Master, and Doctor of Veterinary Science, Dental Surgery, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Mining, and Metallurgical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Agriculture, Public Health, and Commerce. For these latter no further charter has been given, so that nominally they must be considered as having current')' only in New Zealand. The affairs of the University of New Zealand are controlled by a Senate, which, under the New Zealand University Amendment Act, 1902, consists of twenty-four members or Fellows —four elected by the Governor in Council ; eight by the govern ing bodies of the four affiliated institutions, two by each ; four, one each, by the Professorial Boards ; and eight, two each, by the four District Courts of Convocation, consisting of the graduates belonging to the several University districts. The revenue of the University is derived chiefly from a statutory Government grant of £3,000 per annum, from examination and diploma fees, and from interest on money invested. The University is an examining, not a teaching, body, and four teaching institutions are affiliated to it — the Auckland University College, Victoria College, Canterbury College, and Otago University. Of these four institutions the two first mentioned—Auckland University College and Victoria College-—each receive an annual statutory grant of £4,000, supplemented during each of the last three years by grants of £1,200 and £1,500 respectively, while the two others —Canterbury College and Otago University—are endowed with reserves of land. The affairs of these University colleges, including the appointments of professors and lecturers, are entirely in the hands of their various Councils. Each of the four affiiliated University colleges specializes in certain directions, and to further this purpose Government makes to each an annual grant of £2,000. Otago University has attached to it Medical and Dental Schools and a School of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering ; Canterbury College has a School of Engineering (mechanical, electrical, and civil) ; the grant to Auckland University College is allocated for mining and commerce ; while the grant to Victoria College is intended to enable it to specialize in law and science. While the University colleges thus perform the actual teaching-work, the University exercises most important functions in regulating the scope of the degree examinations, in appointing examiners, in awarding scholarships, in, conferring degrees, and in many other directions. At the outset it was the policy of the University Senate to appoint outside examiners for. most of its degree examinations ; generally speaking, this is still its policy, with the result that the University colleges, having their programme of work strictly defined by the statutes of the University, and having the work of their students examined in England and elsewhere, possess very little freedom in extending or modifying their curriculum. Other Professional Institutions. In addition to the four University colleges there are several institutions which, though not actually affiiliated to the New Zealand University, are equally entitled to be considered professional in their scope and character. The Canterbury Agricultural College is recognized as a School of Agriculture, and matriculated students of the College may, after a two years' course, followed by a further course of one year at a University college, qualify for the Degree of Bachelor of Agriculture upon passing the prescribed examination. In several respects the four training colleges at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin • — may be considered professional schools. Although not

affiliated with the New Zealand University, they are in several ways directly associated with the University colleges : matriculation is the entrance examination for both ; the Principal of the training college is usually lecturer on education a 1 the University college ; attendance at some at least of the University college courses is compulsory for trainees ; and a member of the Professorial Board of the University college is a member of the Board of Advice of the training college.

The balance at the end of the year, £31,725, consists of a balance on the Scholarships Account of £26,049, and a balance on the General Account of £5,876. The amount in hand for general purposes was therefore £5,676, the only liability of importance against which is an amount of £1,971 due to English examiners for the degree examinations of November, 1912. The net balance on the General Account has therefore increased from £2,536 in 1911 to £3,705, a net increase of li.l 69. Degrees conferred and Scholarships awarded. At its annual meeting in January of the present year the Senate conferred degrees and awarded scholarships as set out in the table below. For the sake of clearness no notice has been taken of similar degrees awarded on the results of a single examination —as, for instance, Master and Honours, or the double degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery.

Out of 2,228 students on the books of the University colleges there were thus 181 who rose from the status of undergraduates to that of graduates—a percentage of 8-J, as against 8-4 for 1911. Two degrees of Doctor were awarded in medicine. The degree in Agriculture was the first conferred, and there have not yet been any Doctors of Music or Bachelors of Veterinary Science. Affiliated Colleges. Reference to Table Ma will show that there were 2,114 students actually in attendance at the four University colleges, an increase of 338 over the number for the previous year. Of these, 89 were graduates, 1,341 were undergraduates, and 684 were unmatriculated students. In addition to the matriculated students mentioned above, there were 114 students attached to the various University colleges, but exempt from lectures- —that is, they were prevented by distance or by the necessity of earning their living from attending lectures at the college, but were allowed to keep terms, except in certain science and professional subjects, by passing tlie annual college examination.

Scholarships, Bursakiks, etc. University scholarships may be divided into three broad classes : (1) Entrance scholarships, (2) scholarships awarded during the degree course, (3) post-graduate scholarships. (1.) University entrance scholarships arc awarded annually on the results of the University Junior Scholarship Examination, and are as follows: Junior University, Senior National, and Taranaki Scholarships, in addition to some thirty or forty local and privately endowed scholarships awarded on the results of the same examination. Queen's Scholarships (Victoria College) are not now awarded, and the terms of the last holders have expired. In addition to the above, all those who gained "credit." at the same examinations arc entitled to 'hold bursaries which meet the cost of college fees up to £20 per annum. (2.) Scholarships awarded during the degree course are the Senior University, Tinline, and Sir George Grrey. The two first are tenable by candidates sitting for their final examination for B.A. or B.Sc, and may therefore be regarded in a sense as post-graduate. (3.) The chief scholarships awarded at the end of the University course are the Rhodes Scholarship, the 1851 Exhibition Scholarship, the Medical Travelling Scholarship, and the Research Scholarships. The three first are all travelling scholarships—that is, they are tenable abroad. The Research Scholarships are each of the value of £100 per annum, with laboratory fees and expenses. They arc offered annually by the Government, one to each of the affiliated institutions, to promote research-work likely to be of benefit to New Zealand industries. So far ten Rhodes Scholarships have been granted, four to students of Auckland University College, four to students of Otago University, and two to students of Victoria College. The last scholarship awarded (1913) was to Frederick F. Miles, of Otago University. In the appendix will be found a summary account of the careers of various New Zealand Rhodes scholars after arriving at Oxford University. So far (1913) nine Research Scholarships have been awarded, and of these two were in active operation in 1912. The subjects id' research undertaken have been in each case closely connected with some New Zealand industry, or with some industry which, though not yet undertaken in this Dominion, may at an early date he an industry of importance in New Zealand. Even if the discoveries made in the course of the research have no immediate commercial value, yet the training of a body of students in the application of scientific methods to the national industries oannot fail to be of great ultimate benefit to the Dominion. An important step was made in May, 1912, in the direction of extending the system of granting University bursaries. Bursaries may be awarded on the recommendation of the University of New Zealand to matriculated students who have I ice 11 resident in the Dominion for a full year, provided they fall within one of the five following classes :■ — (1.) They must have obtained " credit "at the University Junior Scholarship or the Senior National Scholarship ; (2.) Or they must have within one year and six months immediately preceding gained a higher leaving certificate ; (3.) Or they must, within the same period, have completed their terms of service as probationers or pupil-teachers to the satisfaction of the Education Board of their district, and must declare their intention of entering a recognized training college on completion of the tenure of their bursary ; (4.) Or they must have completed a course of training at one of the. four training colleges ; (5.) Or they must have gained a teachers' C or higher certificate.

Such bursaries are not tenable, with any entrance scholarship the value of which exceeds £20 per annum. They are tenable for three years at any University college or school of agriculture recognized by the University, and entitle the holders to exemption from payment of University and College fees up to £20 per annum. In other respects, bursaries are held subject to the same conditions as Senior National Scholarships, with the exception that in the case of bursars it is not insisted that the scholar should devote his whole time to academic study. With the view of extending the sphere of usefulness of the special courses in home science and domestic arts recently inaugurated by the Council of the Otago University, regulations providing for the award of bursaries were issued in November. 1912, under the regulations for manual and technical instruction. These bursaries may be awarded on the recommendation of the Council to students who have been resident in the Dominion for not less than twelve months. Applicants must have—■ (1.) Passed the Matriculation Examination or some other examination approved for the purpose ; or (2.) Obtained at least a partial pass in the examination for the Class I) Teachers' Certificate ; or (3.) Gained a higher leaving certificate or, in the case of pupil-teachers or probationers, a lower leaving certificate. Applicants are required to make a declaration that they will on completion of their course engage in teaching for not less than three years. The term of a bursary is two years, but may be extended for one year longer. A bursar under these regulations receives £20 per annum, together with the fees for the course for the degree or the diploma in home science and domestic- arts, and, if obliged to live away from home, an allowance of £30 per annum. The bursaries are not tenable by holders of any other bursaries or of tiny scholarship of the value of £20 and upwards. So far (1913) bursaries to the number of thirteen have been awarded. Five bursars are taking the course for the degree, and eight that for the diploma in home science and domestic arts.

The Chairman op the Board op Governors to the Minister of Education. Sir, — Auckland University College, 23rd May, 1913. In pursuance of section 25 of the Auckland University College Act, 1882, the Council has the honour to make the following report for the year 1912 : — 1. Number of Students. —-The number of persons who attended lectures in this College in 1912 was 692 : Graduates, 19 (males, 16 ; females, 3) ; undergraduates, 300 (males, 216; females 84); non-matriculated students, 373 (males, 237 ; females, 136). The number of students who were exempted from attendance was 22 (males, 20 ; females, 2). 2. Council. —Rev. J. H. Simmonds was reappointed by the Governor in Council; Hon. J. A. Tole, X.C, LL.B., was re-elected unopposed by the members of the General Assembly (Auckland); and H. Dean Bamford Esq., 8.A., LL.D., was re-elected, also unopposed, by the graduates of the University of New Zealand on the roll of the University College. There was no change in the ex officio members. In tefms of the Auckland University College Amendment Act, 1912, a new Council, differently constituted, will assume the management as from the Ist July, 1913. 3. Staff. —The staff was increased in 1912 by the appointment of Mr. S. Cory-Wright. B.Sc, as lecturer in surveying, hydraulics, and principles of civil engineering and structural design. 4. Receipts and Expenditure. —-General Account: Receipts, including balance of £6,175 2s. lid. from 1911, £15,327 lis. 6d.; expenditure, £12,220 165.; balance, £3,106 15s. 6d. Specialization Account: Receipts, £3,031 ss. 2d. ; expenditure, including debit balance from 1911 of £727 os. 7d., £2,778 16s. Od. ; debit balance, £474 lis. sd. Endowments: The income from the endowments was £488 15s. 2d. and the expenditure was £89 175., leaving a net revenue of £398 18s. 2d. The large expenditure is explained by a reference to the statement of accounts. 5. Degrees and Honours. —The degrees and honours gained at last November examinations were as follows: Honours in Arts, 4 : Honours in Science, 1 ; Masters of Art 3, 5 ; Master of Science, 1 ; Bachelors of Arts (final section), 17 ; Bachelors of Science (final section), 3; Bachelor of Laws (final section), 1; Bachelors of Arts (first section), 23 ; Bachelors of Science (first section, 5; Bachelors of Laws (sections), 26 ; Bachelor of Agriculture (section), 1 ; Senior Scholarships, 2 ; Cook Memorial Prize, 1. The honours lists comprised—-second class in Latin and French, 1 ; second class in chemistry, 1 ; second class in political science, 1 ; third class in Latin and English, 1 ; third class in Latin and French, 1. 6. The various Schools of Music, Commerce, and Mining were attended during the year by the following number of students, viz : School of Music, 178 students ; School of Commerce, 170 students ; School of Mines, 35 students. 7. The need of better accommodation for the ever-increasing number of students is seriously oppressing the institution. I care not to recapitulate what I said in my last report ; but I still rely upon the Government and Parliament of New Zealand devising some means for procuring a suitable site for new buildings, and the necessary money for the erection of a new University College worthy of the rapidly growing City of Auckland, which building must, in my opinion, be within the city boundaries during the present century. Personally, I would prefer the Home university system of having all lectures delivered in the forenoon ; but the adoption of that system in Auckland would be a death-blow to university education here. I commend this subject of new university buildings to the earnest consideration of the Government and Parliament. Bear in mind that our present site is but one acre, only one-half of which is level ground ; and that the present buildings were erected in 1853 for the meeting of the General Assembly, now sixty years ago. I have, &c, G. Maurice O'Rorke, M.A. LL.D. Kt., Chairman.

ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. At the meeting of tlie Board of Governors of Canterbury College, held on Monday, the 26th May, 1913. the Chairman (Mr. J. C. i\.dams, 8.A.) laid on the table the accounts of the Board for the year 1912, duly certified by the Auditor-General, and in doing so delivered the following address : — I beg to lay before you the fortieth annual report of the Chairman of the Board. Briefly I have dealt with the finance, but the tables at the end will give those who wish to study the matter more closely a full opportunity of so doing. In view, however, of the large appropriations that have been made for building purposes, it will be necessary for us for some years to examine very closely all proposals for non-recurrent expenditure.

Finance.

The annual statement of receipts and expenditure for the year ended 31st December, 1912, shows that the total receipts for that period amounted to £33,606, as compared with £32,419 for the previous year, showing an increase of £] ,187, but this includes an amount of £1,250 derived from the sale of several town sections in Timaru. The rents from endowments showed an increase of £949, while the giants and subsidies received from the Government showed a falling-oil of £1,053 as compared with those of 1911. The total expenditure for the year reached £32,005, the expenditure for the previous year being £29,262, showing an increase of £2,743. Of this sum £1,486 was expended in purchasing additional farm land in South Canterbury to increase the endowment of the Boys' High School. The amount expended in salaries was increased by £781 as compared with the expenditure during the preceding year, while the cost of maintenance and improvement of endowments exceeded that of 1911 by £473. College. —-The College Maintenance Account shows a working-profit for the year of £1,797, after contributing £569 towards the extinction of the debt on the College buildings, but this includes a sum of £1,250 transferred from the Classical School Capital Account. The rents received from the endowments for the year exceeded those of the previous year by £1,609. Students' fees also show a slight increase, while the sum of £200 was received last year, for the first time, as contribution and subsidy towards cost of the course in accountancy. School of Engineering. —A loss of £327 was sustained on the year's working of this account, the grants from Government showing a falling-off of £587 as compared with the preceding year. Salaries were increased by £100, while £135 less was expended on apparatus than in 1911. Boys' High School. —This account shows a loss of £1,506 on the year's working, but of this amount £1,486 was expended in the purchase of farm land adjoining Reserve 1201 at Otipua, while the sum of £1,000 was contributed towards the extinction of the debt on the school buildings. The rents from reserves was increased by £343 as compared with the previous year's rents, but the school fees and capitation returned £104 less than in 1911. Girls' High School. —The result of the year's working shows a profit of £599, thus reducing the overdraft at 31st December to £22. Extensive additions to the buildings are now being made which will probably increase the debit balance to about £4,000 by the end of the current year. The receipts from school fees and capitation amounted to £2,991. as compared with £2,874 for 1911. School of Art. —The position of this account is about the same as in December, 1911. The students' fees show an increase of £31, but the capitation received from the Government was £508 less than in the previous year. The contribution from the Technical School Endowment was increased by £100. The total expenditure for the year exceeded that of 1911 by £220. Museum. —The finances of the Museum are in anything but an encouraging condition, the overdraft being increased during the past year by £95, in spite of an additional vote of £100 from the Endowment Fund. The ravages of the wood-borer in the building were responsible for an expenditure of £172, and there is little doubt that a still further expenditure on repairs, from the same cause, will be absolutely necessary. Public Library. —The loss on the year's working of this account amounted to £30, bringing the overdraft up to £1,086 at the end of the year. The receipts from the circulating department show a falling-off of £49 as compared with 1911, but the revenue from the Gammack Estate was increased by £25. The expenditure on books, magazines, &c, for the circulating department was still reduced, the amount being £61 less than was expended in the previous year. The amount expended on books and binding for the reference department exceeded the total for 1911 by £40. The Board's shave of the cost in connexion with the declaratory judgment at the Supreme Court amounted to £109. College. With regard to matters connected with what I may term the College itself, there are one or two matters that deserve more than a passing notice. Two years ago I drew attention to the fact that increased accommodation in the way of buildings was urgently required, and this has been emphasized in the report presented to Parliament by the Inspector-General. One addition is at present being carried out—viz., that to the School of Engineering. A change in the period required for preparation for the degree having been made by the Senate of the University, the period being shortened by one year rendered it necessary that more room should be at the disposal of both teachers and students. A contract has been let which will enable the work to be carried on with greater advantage, and will enable the school, highly efficient though it has been in the past, to attain to still higher work in the future. Another addition —-a College library—for years urgently needed, but always put on one side owing to want ol funds, seems now to be within measurable distance of accomplishment. The raising of the necessary funds for the building itself has been taken in hand by the Professorial Board, and though the campaign of collecting money has only just commenced, so far the response has been very encouraging. When those who have derived such great benefits from the University course at their old College, the public in the city, and the many wealthy residents in the province read the appeal that is being made to them, and realize the boon that will be conferred on future generations of students by means of a properly equipped College library, I feel sure that sufficient funds will be forthcoming not only to erect the building, but to help in increasing the number of reference books that must be placed therein. At present a committee is considering a plan for the best situation of all the buildings that are necessary to complete the quadrangle, so that, as each new addition is determined on. not only will its site have been previously fixed, but there will be the added assurance that the buildings will be in complete harmony with their surroundings. Hitherto it has been a case of " Sufficient for the day is the evil (or good) thereof." and not enough thought has been taken of the general appearance when all is completed. By the plan proposed it is expected that the old somewhat haphazard system will altogether disappear.

For the past fey. years, owing to the proposals submitted by the late Professor Haslam to the Council of Trinity College, Cambridge, a close scholarship from Canterbury College has been tenable at Trinity. During the past year notice was received from Trinity that, owing to the success ol the scheme adopted, it was intended to offer the scholarship on a wider basis, i Qg confined to students from Canterbury College, to make a selection of one or more scholars nominated by any or all of the university colleges in the Empire outside the Cnited Kingdom. While it is very gratifying that success has rewarded the efforts of the students sent from here, it seems a pity that such success should mean the withdrawal of the conditions affecting the tenure of the scholarship as obtaining until now. Of course, if a student be chosen from here in the face of selection from such a wide field the honour will be the greater, but it was hoped that the Gondii ions as at first proposed would mean a close knitting together of one of the old colleges of Cambridge with this comparatively new one established at the Antipodes. Hitherto whatever provision has been made for graduates to pursue their studies in England has been in favour of the male student, but I am glad to be able to report that negotiations are being carried on with Holloway College with a view of securing for female graduates a somewhat similar concession to that hitherto granted by Trinity College. Should the conditions prove satisfactory, the Board will be then in a position to help those female students whose work makes it probable that they will benefit by such a scholarship, so that they may continue their post-graduate studies in England. Each succeeding year shows one or more female students well up in the honours list, and the possibility of obtaining the help necessary for further study may induce still more to read for honours instead of being content with the ordinary pass degree. This year the provisions of the Teachers' Superannuation Act have been extended so that the permanent, staff of the College is enabled to join and receive the benefits of that fund. For some years endeavours have been made to alter the Act in this direct ion. but without success, but the change now made renders it optional for permanent members of the staff who held their appointments before 1913 to join, if they so wish, and renders it compulsory for all future appointees to join. The benefits accruing therefrom will be advantageous to those who give their life service ro the Board, but in this, as in all cases under the Act, the benefits (if those who retire before the expiration of the term agie< <l on are not so advantageous; still, generally speaking, the provision foi a retiring-pension will be of considerable value. Some three years ago. on the oombined suggestion of Canterbury and Lincoln Colleges, alterations were made in the order in which certain subjects could be taken by those who were anxious to take a degree in agriculture. These alterations were not made with the intention of lowering th< standard of the degree, but with that of enabling the student, to pursue his studies in such a way that the pracl ical and theoretical work were better correlated. The result has been beneficial, and it is pleasing to see that a greater number are coming forward for their degrees in this subject, for in this year's class lists there are four who have passed a section of the degree examination and one who has obtained the lull degree. Those who have been considering a possible change in the method of examination of degrees have arrived at a decision that seems to approach somewhat closely to a combination of both internal and external examiners. Oftentimes a student who has done good solid work throughout the year fails to do himself justice in the paper work submitted to the Home examiner. The following resolution of the Senate comes into force this year : "' That a report of the work of each student sitting for his degree in arts or science be furnished by the Professors through the Registrar for communication to the examiners at Home." Tims by such means something approaching a conference between those who have taught and examined the students in New Zealand and the external examiners is set up, and the result will not depend solely on the judgment of one set of examiners. This will in no way lessen the value of the degree, but will enable a fuller judgment of the work done to be arrived at. Though not all that may be desired, yet it is a recognition that the fairest way of determining whether a student should proceed to his degree is by considering as fully as possible every factor in the course of study. It is a pleasing fact to note that at the reoent degree examinations a fair share of honours has fallen to Canterbury College. Professor Haslam, after thirty-two years' service Under the Hoard, sent in his resignation, and he was granted leave of absence for the second term, thus relieving him of his duties soon after his resignation had been accepted. During his term of office he had identified himself with almosl every phase of College life, taking great interest not only in his actual duties, but in those many branches thai go to make up collegiate life. Of the work done as Professor of Classics, the results both in the class lists from year to year and in the positions gained by many of bis students showed how thoroughly he carried out his share in their instruction. The vacancy has been filled by the appointment of Mr. Hugh Stewart. M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, who, bringing with him a high reputation, will undoubtedly keep up the former high standard of classical attainments. School op Engineering. This year shows a slight increase in the number of matriculated students who purpose taking the full course for one or other of the degrees. This is due in all probability to the resolution passed by the Senate, which enables the whole course to be completed in four years instead of five years. 11 is more than probable that as the years pass the number will be materially increased. I have pointed out in another portion of the report that this shortening of the course has made it imperative that more accommodation should be provided. The alterations and additions decided on and now being undertaken provide for ati additional lecture-room, a departmental library, workshop, a room for applied mechanics, a private room for a lecturer, and a preparation-room. By such means every facility will be given the students to pursue their studies under more advantageous surroundings. It is to be regretted that the serious illness of Professor Scott has necessitated a lengthened leave of absence, and this at a time when alterations and additions designed by him are being carried out.

The Chancellor of the University or Otago to His Excellency the Governor. Your Excellency,— In compliance with the provisions id the University of Otago Ordinance, 1869, I have the honour herewith to submit a report of the proceedings of the University of Otago for the year ending 31st March, 1913. The Council. The constitution of the Council was very largely altered during the year in virtue of the provisions n( the University of Otago Council Act, 1911. This Act provides for the representation on the Council of Education Boards, High School Boards, primary and secondary school teachers, School Committees, the Dunedin City Council, and the Otago Hospital Board, besides such bodies as were formerly represented. The result of the elections was the return of the following ten members of the old Council: Hon. James Allen, M.A. ; Rev. Andrew Cameron, B.A. ; John Roberts, Esq., C.M.G. ; Dr. Shand ; T. K. Sidey, Esq., 8.A., LL.B., M.P. ; Rev. William Bewitson, B.A. ; Dr. Church; J,. W. Harris, Esq. ; Dr. Scott; and J. H. Walker, Esq. : while the following have been elected as representatives of the new electors : Hon. T. Fergus, representing the Otaoo Education Board ; W. Macalister, Esq., 8.A., LL.B., representing the Southland Education Board ; <!. C. Israel. Esq., representing the High School Boards ; W. D. Stewart, Esq., LL.B., representing the Dunedin City Council : W. J. Morrell, Esq., M.A., representing the teachers in secondary schools ; W. Eudey, Esq., representing the teachers in primary schools ; and Parker McKinlay. Esq., M.A.. representing the School Committees. In March of this year Mr. Leslie Harris, who proposed making an extended visit to Europe, felt compelled to resign, and Mr. John Ross has been appointed in his place. Besides these changes in membership an important change has taken place; in the internal constitution of the Council. The Hon. James Allen, owing to his elevation to the position of Minister of Education, was obliged, much to the regret of members of the Council, to relinquish the post of Chancellor. The Rev. Andrew Cameron, 8.A., was appointed in Mr. Allen's place, whilst the vacant Vice-Chancellorship was filled by the appointment of Mr. John Roberts, C.M.G. The Staff. lam not called upon to note any changes in the personnel of the teaching staff. An important post will, however, fall vacant at the end of the currenl year, since Dr. Shand, who has been Professor of Physics since 1870, will then retire from the duties of his Chair. Dr. Shand has been so intimately connected with the development of the University since its foundation, both as a professor and as a member of Council, that his retirement will be very keenly felt. Statistics of Students. During the year the number of students in attendance in the Various faculties has been as follows :— .Men. Women. Arts .. .. .. .. ..128 95 Science .. . . 20 6 Law .. 40 Commerce .. . . . . .. 46 Medicine .. . . .. ..112 9 Dental .. .. 10 1 Engineering.. .. 2 Mining .. .. 14 Home science .. . . . . .... 30 372 141 In addition to these, 26 exempted students were enrolled —21 men and 5 women —-making the grand total of students for the year 393 men and 146 women..or 539 in all. Lectures on Line and Accountancy. In the last annual report reference was made to the institution of lectures on law and accountancy. I am pleased to be able to state that these lectures are meeting a felt want, a fact which is amply demonstrated by the large number of students who have availed themselves of the facilities offered. Instruction is now given which enables students of this University to satisfy the requirements of the law professional examination and of the professional examination in accountancy. Reference should here be made to the liberality of the New Zealand Society of Accountants, which body donates £100 a year in support of the accountancy lectures, and to the generosity shown by the Otago Law Society in contributing a similar sum for the furtherance of lectures on law. It is fitting, too, that I should here express the Council's appreciation of the services of six well-known members of the Dunedin legal profession, who during the past year have ungrudgingly devoted their time, for a trifling monetary recompense, to the instruction of students in law. Veterinary School. Little headway has been made towards the establishment of a Veterinary College. There is every prospect at the present time, however, of a suitable site being found, and the Council trusts that this

35

E.—7

school may be established by the commencement of the session of 1914. I would submit to your Excellency, however, that, no matter how desirous the Council may be of extending the University's works in this direction, the finance of the undertaking must be assured by the Government. It will be evident from the latter portion of this report that the Council has no moneys of its own to expend upon the establishment of this school. Extension Lectures. During the year the Council has had under consideration the establishment of extension lectures, and a scheme has been evolved by which certain of the professors will, during the winter months, deliver a series of popular lectures. It is thought that in the future the scheme may be extended to allow of lectures being delivered at other centres, such as Invercargill and Oamaru. Finance. In the annual reports for some years buck- attention has been directed to the unsatisfactory nature of the University's finances. Unfortunately, it is my duty once more to emphasize this matter, for during the past year the University mis gone back financially to the extent of about £800. It is true that a great deal of extraordinary expenditure had to be, faced in renovating the chemical laboratory and in other works, but even after taking this into consideration a deficit still remained. Your Excellency may rest assured that the Council in its expenditure throughout the year has had regard only to the efficient working of the various departments. And attention may properly be directed to the large number of departments controlled by this University. Not only does it give instruction in the ordinary course of arts ami science (including iiome science), but it also equips students for the important professions of medicine, dentistry, mining, law, and accountancy. The value of such an institution to the public of the Dominion is unquestionably very great, and the Council thinks it may fairly look to the Government for increased support. I have to record the Council's thanks for the substantial amount of £2,000 which was last year voted by the Government towards the redemption of debentures owing by this University. The balance of these debentures now- stands at £8,000, and the Council trusts that such provision may be made as will enable the whole of this amount to be liquidated in the very near future. I have, &c, Andrew Cameron, Chancellor.

The Chairman of the Professorial Board, to the Chancellor, Otago University. Sir — I have the honour to report, on behalf of the Professorial Board, in regard to the conduct and work of the University during the year ending 31st March, 1913. Attendance : The Registrar has kindly supplied mc with statistics as to the number of students who attended lectures in the various departments during the past year : — Men. Women.' Total. 1911. Arts .. .. •• ..128 95 223 248 Science 20 6-26 50 Law 40 .. 40 14 Commerce .. .. .. .. 46 .. 46 Medicine 112 9 121 108 Dental .. 10 1 11 10 Engineering .. .. .. .. 2 .. 2 Mining .. .. .. •- ..14 .. 14 14 Home science .. .. .. .... 30 30 27 Totals 372 141 513 471 Of these, 18 men and 7 women were graduates. 82 men.and 31 women were not matriculated. The increase of 42 students shown in the above table is obviously due to the large number of stuentsd in accountancy and law, for the number of students in science and arts decreased by 49. This decrease is probably due to the higher standard of the Matriculation Examination. & Academic results : The following table shows the number of students who passed examinations for the various degrees during the academic year compared with the number who gained the corresponding degrees in the three previous years:D.Sc.

Though the total as shown in this table is slightly less than that of the preceding year, it is quite satisfactory as showing that there is evidence of continued work and activity in every department of University study. The detailed results are set forth below : — Doctor of Medicine : Mcßride, Leonard Hugh, University of Otago : Watt, Michael Herbert, University of Otago. Master of Arts with Honours : Adams, H. S., second class in mental science ; Curzon-Siggers, W. A., first class in languages and literature (Latin and Greek) ; Horton, Dorothy E., second class in languages and literature (English and French) ; Kennedy, Jemima, third class in language and literature (Latin and English) ; Loudon, Agnes L., second class in languages and literature (English and French) ; Marwick, J., first class in natural science (geology) ; Miles, F. F., first class in languages and literature (English an/I French), also first class in mathematics and mathematical physics ; Mills, Mary M., third class in languages and literature (Latin arid German) ; Parr, C, first class in mental science ; Uttley, W. M., second class in mental science ; Wright, W., third class in mental science. Master of Science with Honours : Alexander, W. A., first class in natural science (geology), also second class in physical science (heat) ; Colquhoun, J. A., third class in physical science (electricity) ; Hercus, E. 0., first class in mathematics and mathematical physics, also second class in physical science (electricity); Robertson, G. H., second class in chemistry (physical); Stuart, W. A., second class in physical science (heat), also second class in physical science (electricity). Senior Scholars : Thompson, James —in French ; Wilkinson, Frank Howitt—in mental science. John Tinline Scholar : Adamson, Frank Forrester. Rhodes Scholar : Miles, Frederick Fisher. Bachelors of Arts : Adamson, Frank Forrester ; Borrie, Agnes ; Connell, Richard Patrick ; Copland, Catherine ; Cullen, Patrick Francis ; Dempster, Norman Harrison ; Fyfe, Laura Henderson ; Learmonth, Ivy Annie ; MacDiarmid, Donald Neil; Mawson, Joseph Bibby ; Miller, Mabel Isabel; Miller, Ronald ; McCarthy, Claude ; McKenzie, William Henry Purvis ; McLaughlin, Daniel; Ongley, Patrick Augustine ; Partridge, Ernest ; Skinner, Henry Devenish ; Smith, Cecil McLean ; Thompson, James ; Vickery, Elsie Elizabeth Alice ; Watt, Mary Shand ; Wilkinson, Frank Howitt. Bachelors of Science : Isdale, George Brownlee ; Moore, John Alexander, M.A. ; Samuel, Margaret. Bachelors of Law : Houston, John ; Paterson, James Moir, M.A. Bachelors of Medicine and of Surgery ; Brookfield, Athol William Purchas ; Evans, Arthur Owen ; McCaw, William Cuthbert ; Thomas, William Howard ; Thompson, Leslie Joseph ; Widdowson, Eric Arthur ; Sinclair, David Livingstone ; Pettit, Thomas Harold ; Sowerby, William ; Baigent, Cyril Victor Atmore ; Matheson, Dugald George ; Woodward, Kenneth Isaac ; Mitchell, James arfield ; Buddie, Roger. Bachelors of Dental Surgery : Suckling, Horace Edwin ; Saunders, John Llewllyn. Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Metallurgical) ; Henderson, John, D.Sc. Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) : McDouall, Phillip Hastings. Winners of Otago University scholarships and prizes : McGregor Prize—Connell, Richard Patrick. Beverly Entrance Scholarship —Fraser, Hugh Ross. Beverly Scholarship in Advanced Physics— Stuart, William Alexander. Sir George Grey Scholarship—Bastings. Lyndon. Beverly Scholarship for Junior Physics —Cody, Walter Thomas. James Clark Prizes—Latin, Curzon-Siggers, William Arthur; English, Miles, Frederick Fisher; mental science, Fleming. James John William. Ulrich Memorial Prize—Marwick. John. There are few special features in this list, though reference must be made to F. F. Miles, who gained double first-class honours in mathematics and English and French. It is also satisfactory to record that the Rhodes Scholarship for 1912 was won by this graduate. This is the fourth time that the Rhodes Scholarship has been gained by an Otago student. Another feature is the small number of senior scholars this year —the lowest for many years—and it will therefore be reasonable to expect a small honours list next year. Buildings : It is with satisfaction that the Board notes that the new class-rooms are now almost completed, and that they will be ready for occupation during this session. The use of these class-rooms will allow of all the classes being held in the University, buildings, and will tend to further unite the different departments of University work. Discipline : The behaviour and conduct of the students throughout the year was extremely satisfactory, and I have great pleasure in acknowledging the sympathetic co-operation of the executive of the Students' Association in all those matters where the interests of the students were at stake. During the session the Chief Inspector of Schools consulted with the Board in regard to the most pressing needs of the University. Many of the matters that were suggested are now set forth in the report of the Inspector, which was presented to Parliament, and the Board hopes that it may be possible to give effect to the recommendations contained in this report. I have, &c, P. Marshall, Chairman of the Professorial Board. The Medical School. —Report of the Acting-Dean (Dr. J. Malcolm). The number of students in the Medical School during 1912 was 121. The numbers entering continued to increase, and now average nearly 30 a year in the first three years. Eight candidates passed the final examination for the degree of M.8., Ch.B., in January, 1913,. and 2in the previous July, making a total of 10 for the year. Nearly all the larger hospitals in the Dominion ate officered by these and the men of the previous year.

The travelling scholarship awarded annually by the New Zealand University was awarded to William Sowerby, M.8., Ch.B., this year. During the winter the University was visited by Mr. Hogben, Inspector-General of Schools, who inquired into the financial position and requirements of the University. In his report to the Minister of Education Mr. Hogben emphasizes the need for increased expenditure on buildings, equipment, and salaries for the Medical School, and states that the sum of £11.000 is required for buildings, and recommends an increased expenditure on salaries up to £1,350 a year. In April of this year, on the recommendation of the faculty of medicine, the Senate of the New Zealand Cnviersity agreed to grant a diploma in public, health, and it is hoped that steps will soon be taken to set up courses of instruction for this diploma. Various minor changes in the classes have been made. It was decided to hold the summer session later in the year so as to begin about the 20th January and end in the first week of April. The class of midwifery which is to be held this winter will occupy the first half of 1 he winter session, while medical jurisprudence will meet in the second half at the same hour. The need for increased accommodation in the practical rooms has become more acute than ever, and it is hoped that before another year passes something will be dune to remedy the present state of affairs.

The Dental School. —Report ok the Director (Professor 11. P. PickertlL, M.D., M.D.S.). During the pasl war II students have been in attendance at the Dental Sohool ; of these 10 were degree students and 4 were taking tin- six months' post-graduate course. Two students completed their course and passed the final examination for the B.D.S. degree last January. The usual courses of lectures have been given. The special lectures on medicine lor dental .students are a great advantage, and the suggestion in my last annual report thai special lectures should also be held in anatomy and physiology has to some extent now been met by Dr. Malcolm's arranging to divide his course into junior and senior ones. The Senate of i In' New Zealand University has sanctioned the reduction of the time to be spent at this school in acquiring a, knowledge of prosthetic dentistry from three years to two, the reduction in be made at the discretion of the Principal. This provision will, I think, operate favourably for good students, and will prove an incentive lor the less energetic ones. During the pest year the students'fees for clinical dental surgery have been allocated to the honorary stall; but in return they have generously donated a sum id' about £50 to the Dental Hospital, and it is hoped that, according to precedent elsewhere, the Government will pay the usual subsidy on this amount. This year, for the first lime since its foundation, the Dental Hospital has received some support from the public through the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board. The latter body, alter considerable discussion, decided to make a subsidy of £200 per annum, and paid the first instalment of £100. I think it is regrettable that the terms of the contribution —especially the return of 111 per cent, of all fees -should bs so stringent, more particularly having regard to the large sum which the University is saving the Board from expending in dental treatment, such as the Boards in Auckland, and Christchurch have undertaken, and Wellington is about to. A comparison of tlie clinical work of the Hospital for the five months during which the Hospital Boards' regulations have been in force with a similar period during the previous twelve months shows a falling-off of 300, or 31 per cent., in the number of operations, of 30 per cent, in the number of fresh patients, and of 1 I per cent in patients' attendances. The following is a. summary of the clinical work of the Hospital for the past twelve months: Number of patients' attendances, 3,790 ; number of fresh patients, 397 ; number of patients on book to date, 2,837. Filling operations : Gold, 80 ; plastic, 458 ; root canal treatments, 221. Anaesthetic cases operations: Artificial dentures. 179: crowns. 25 bridges. 12. Total number of operations, 2,120.

The School of Home Science.—Report of the Director (Professor Boys-Smith). The entry of the students for the work of the new session is a very encouraging one. Although we have only completed one summer and two winter sessions—so that the work is still in its infancy —we have 48 students on our books. Of these, 9 are working for the degree in home science, 19 for the full diploma; and the remainder are either taking "group courses" (i.e., a group of correlated subjects —for instance, chemistry, the application of chemistry to cookery, and practical cookery) or single courses of lectures with practical work. No student has yet had time to complete the three-years course for the degree ; but the first two s-'i lents who entered for il in April, 1911. have passed in all their subjects up to the present time, anil will, we hope, be entitled to a degree after passing the " final examination " in November next. Professor Sinit hell's report on their work in applied chemistry is very satisfactory. I cannot at the moment quote from it, as it is still in the hands of the Registrar of the New Zealand University ; but in a private letter to myself written from Leeds University on the 28th February lie says. " I was very much pleased with the examination papers, showing the work done in applied chemistry, and must congratulate you and Miss Rawson on the result." Tlie Council shall see the full report at a later date.

The first student who started work for the diploma in 1911 has completed the course, and is now entitled to the diploma in home science, which will shortly be awarded. The two other students who began the course at the same date decided to spread their work over three years ; consequently they will not enter for their final examination until October next. The practical courses in cookery, laundry-work, and housewifery have been well attended, a large number of outside students having joined the practical classes above mentioned. We were hampered in our work during the summer session (from January to March, 1913) owing to the lack of a properly equipped laundry in which to carry out the practical side of the laundrywork. Nevertheless, the standard of the work turned out was a high one, and the students showed a keen interest in the problems connected with the removal of stains : the use and abuse of the various detergents used in laundry-work the means taken to prevent shrinkage ; and the fading of the colours of materials during the process of washing, drying, and ironing ; and some very creditable work was done in the final examinations. Before next summer session it will be necessary to build our model kitchen and laundry, and it is hoped that the hall of residence for the home-science students (in which much of the practical work will be carried out, including the housewifery) will be open before the winter session of 1914. The needlework course proved so useful last year that 23 students have entered for it this session. Next year we shall obviously have to duplicate the classes, and I propose to hold a junior and a senior course, so that external students can attend for two successive years, if they wish to become still more efficient in this art. The dressmaking class produced some very satisfactory results. The results of the examinations held in October and November last were as follows : For the degree of Bachelor of Science, in home science 2 students gained second-class passes in applied chemistry, and in household economics, Part I, and first-class passes in organic chemistry. Two passed the Intermediate Medical Examination in chemistry, and 2in physios. All of these gained their practical certificates in the above subjects. For the diploma the results were as follows : Needlework —in Class I, 3 students ; Class 11, 2 students ; Class 111, 1 student. Business affairs—Class I, 2 students ; Class 11, 2 students; Class 111, 3 students. English — Class 11, 1 student; Class 111, 3 students. Physics—Class I, 1 student ; Class 11, 2 students ; Class 111, 2 students. Practical laundry-work and housewifery—Class I, 2 students ; Class 11, 4 students. Theory of laundry-work and housewifery —Class I, 2 students ; Class 11, 4 students. Practical cookery — Class 1,1 student ; Class 11, 3 students. Inorganic chemistry—Olass I, 1 student ; Class 11, 3 students ; Class 111, 2 students. Physiology —Class I, 2 students. Applied chemistry, Part I—Olass 11, 2 students. Applied chemistry, Part II —Class 11, 4 students ; Class 111, 1 student.

School of Mines.—Report of the Director. (Professor James Park, M.lnst.M.M., M.A., 1.M.E., F.G.S.). The Mining School for the session of 1912 showed an attendance of 30 students, of whom 1 I were entered for the full associate courses and 1 for the surveying course, the remaining 15 attending the classes in geology. During the year there was a greater demand for young graduates to fill posts as mine-surveyors and mine officials than in any previous year, and it was a matter for regret that the supply was unequal to the demand. Among the more important appointments secured by old students with some years of experience behind them were the following : — (1.) G. W. Thomson, A.0.5.M., general manager, Pearl Lake Gold-mines (Limited), Porcupine, Ontario. (2.) E. Fletcher Roberts, A.0.5.M., consulting engineer, Vincent County Council. (3.) Cyril Gudgeon, general manager, Gold and Scheelite Company (Limited), Macrae's Flat, Otago. (4.) H. Lovell, Director, Westport School of Mines. (5.) U B. Inglis. A.0.5.M., Director, Co romandel" School of Mines. (6.) S. Napier-Bell. A.0.5.M.. general manager, Nigeria Mines (Limited}, Northern Nigeria. (7.) Herbert Black, A.0.5.M., general manager, Sifwi Mines. Gold Coast. West Africa. (8.) F. W. Thomas. A.0.5.M., assistant manager, A'Koon Mines (Limited). Wesl Africa. (9.) A. Barron. A.0.5.M., assistant manager, Nigeria Mines (Limited), Northern Nigeria. (10.) 0. Gore Adams, A.0.5.M., general manager, Porko Tin-mines (Limited). Bolivia. (11.) A. M. Finlayson, D.Sc. A.0.5.M., chief mining geologist, Burma Oil Company, Rangoon. Mr. John McKmlay passed the examinations of the New Zealand Board of Examiners, and obtained his diploma as a licensed surveyor. Laboratory: During 1912 the number of samples of ores and minerals forwarded by the public for examination and valuation by assay or analysis was 148. The samples comprised ores of copper, iron, tungsten, limestones, gold-bearing quartz, bullion, &c. The bulk of the determinations were for gold.

Budd, M.Sc.

Sir,- REPOET. I have the honour, by direction of the Board of Governors, in pursuance of the Canterbury College and Canterbury Agricultural College Act, 1896, to submit the following report on the work of I lie institution for the year ending 31st December, 1912 : — The attendance of students was maintained at the limit of accommodation throughout the year, and altogether 54 students were enrolled, the same number as last year. lam glad to be able to report that the progress of t he student s in residence in 1912 was on the whole must, satisfactory both as regards the general interest taken in their studies and the practical work on the farm. I might make special reference to the reports of the examiners on the work of the diploma students, which was generally classed as excellent. As in previous years, a number of students took part in the judging competitions for young farmers, promoted by the Agricultural and Pastoral Association at their November show, and among a large number of competitors the students won a large proportion of the prizes. Twenty-eight students left the College during 1 be year : of these. 4 had been one year at the College, II two years, 4 almost three years, and 9 completed the full course and were awarded diploma special prizes. Their names and addresses are as follows :A. D. Anderson, Invercargill; M. J. Thomson, Dunedin ; R. J. Low, Ashburton ; W. A. Yardley, Southland ; T. A. Carroll, Napier ; M. J. Meehan, Makikihi; G. B. Chrystall, Christchurch ;C. L. Mathias. Timaru ; G. H. Holford, Christchurch. A number of public bodies and friends of the College, including the Ashburton Agricultural and Pastoral Association, Messrs. G. W. R. Osborne, Leonard White, Messrs. I'yne and Co., Messrs. Booth, Macdonald, and Co., Lincoln College Old Boys' Association, a number of Rakaia farmers, and others, have presented the College with very valuable trophies to be given as prizes to the students. These gifts are very much appreciated by both staff and students, as they stimulate a very wholesome spirit in the general work of the College. Experimental work : Satisfactory progress has been made with the wheat and oats breeding experiments. It is no! possible to give reliable comparative results from the small areas grown, but i lie general appearance of the growing crops was most favourably commented on by the large gathering of farjners on Farmers' Day, and t he estimated yields are also mosl satisfactory from our point of view. We hope next season to have 25 acres of wheat grown from selected seed. A test of the feeding and yielding qualities of varieties of oats was carried out with very instructive results. The College and farm buildings have been kept in a good state of repair. An electric lighting and power plant has been installed at a cost of £1,800. The plant consists of an 18 horse-power BellissMorcom kerosene engine coupled to a Westinghouse dynamo, from which light and power can be obtained direct or run in to a Tudor battery with fifty-eight cells. The College is lighted throughout with metallic filament lamps. This addition to the equipment adds to the comfort of the students, and certainly tends to make the College a more healthy residence, and at the same time reduces the risk of fire to a minimum. Power can also be transmitted from the dynamo or battery to a motor which drives the milking and pumping plant. Another motor has also been installed in the shearing-shed for driving Ihe shearing-machines. This addition to the equipment will provide not only efficient light and power, but will also be most useful rom an educational point of view to demonstrate the use and management of electric power on Ihe farm. A motor-cur has also been purchased at £500 for the use of the College. principally to secure a quicker means of communication with the lands at Ashley Dene and Siberia. The College farm has been maintained at its high state of fertility. During the year some very high yields of oats and wheat were obtained, and this, taken together with the gross income as set forth on the balance-sheet. shows clearly that the farm is also being judiciously farmed. Every effort is made t > run the farm on a commercial basis, so that the students may have the advantage of taking part in Ihe work which is sure to be. useful to them, and which at the same time they can see is reproductive. The farm stock has also maintained its high level of merit. As an evidence of this, I append a list of prizes gained by the College stock at the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association's November show: Three champions, three reserve champions, nine first prizes, three second prizes, four third prizes, six V.H.C. tickets, and six H.C. and C. tickets. The farm with its stock and crop was inspected by over 180 farmers invited to the College in the middle of December. Great interest was generally displayed in the work being carried on, especially in regard to the experimental work, and opinions were freely expressed to tlie effect that the College was fulfilling its object in that it was teaching the students the principles of scientific agriculture and showing how these could be applied to a farm run on a commercial basis. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education. R. E. Alexander. Director,
