HIGHER EDUCATION. No. I..— EXTRACT FROM THE FORTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF 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 of Arts, and Bachelor and Doctor of Law, of Medicine, and of 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. By the provisions of the New Zealand University Act of 1908 and subsequent amending Acts the Senate of the University now has power to confer, in addition to those mentioned, the following degrees : Doctor of Literature ; Master of Laws, of Surgery, and of Science ; Bachelor, Master, and Doctor of Veterinary Science, of Dental Surgery, of Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Mining, and Metallurgical Engineering, of Natal Architecture, of Agriculture, of Public Health, and of Commerce ; Bachelor of Science in Home Science ; and Bachelor of Science in Architecture. Diplomas in a number of subjects may also be obtained. In 1921 a Bachelor of Science in Forestry and a Doctorate of Philosophy were instituted. The affairs of the University are controlled by three Courts —the Senate, the Board of Studies, and the General Court of Convocation, which consists of members of the four District Courts of Convocation. The Senate consists of twenty-four members or Fellows —four elected by the Governor-General in Council; eight by the governing 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 Board of Studies consists of twenty members, five of whom are appointed by each of the Professorial Boards of the four institutions affiliated to the University. The District Courts of Convocation consist of graduates of the University. The Senate has the entire management of and superintendence over the affairs, concerns, and property of the University, and, subject to certain provisions relating to the Board of Studies, has power to alter all statutes and regulations. The Board of Studies has power to make recommendations to the Senate as to the appointment of examiners and as to degrees, diplomas, scholarships, prizes, courses of study, and examinations. The chief function of the General Court of Convocation is to discuss matters relating to the University and to declare its opinion on any such matters. The revenue of the University is derived mainly from a statutory Government grant of £4,000 per annum., from fees, and from interest on investments. In addition there is paid to it in trust a certain proportion of the national-endowment income for distribution among the four affiliated institutions towards the support of libraries, the establishment of new Chairs, and towards the extension of their work in other ways. The amount received from this source in 1921-22 was £3,416. The University is an examining not a teaching body, and four teaching institutions are affiliated to it — the Auckland University College, Victoria University College, Canterbury College, and Otago University —situated in the cities'of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin respectively. The affairs of these University colleges, including the appointment of professors and lecturers, are entirely in the hands of the various Councils. Each of the colleges, besides providing the usual University courses, specializes in certain directions : Otago University has medical and dental schools, a school of mining and metallurgical engineering, and a school of home science ; Canterbury College has a school of engineering (mechanical, electrical, and civil) ; Auckland University College has a school of mines and a school of commerce ; and Victoria University College specializes in law and science.

The affiliated colleges receive annual statutory Government grants towards meeting the expenses of their general maintenance as follows : Auckland University College, £11,500 ; Victoria University College, £11,500 ; Canterbury College, £4,500 ; Otago University, £10,000. The colleges are also in receipt of rents from endowments, Canterbury College being the most richly endowed, and the total income from this source by all colleges in 1921 being £22,237. In addition to the grants a certain proportion of the income from the National Endowment Fund for the purposes of education is paid directly to the four affiliated institutions, the sum paid to each in the year 1921-22 being £1,708. There is also provision for the payment under regulations of a Government subsidy on voluntary contributions to the funds of the institutions affiliated to the University of New Zealand, and special grants are made from time to time for buildings and equipment; £6,868 was paid to the colleges by way of subsidy in 1921-22, and £39,071 as grants for extended buildings and sites. The receipts of the colleges from students' fees amounted to £38,427. The total amount paid by the Education Department on account of the University of New Zealand and the affiliated colleges for the year 1921-22 was £117,434, as against £109,242 in the previous year. The total expenditure of these institutions on University education (exclusive of trust funds) was £215,000. New Zealand University. The University conducted examinations in 1921 in the faculties of arts, science* medicine, public health, dentistry, home science, law, engineering, commerce, agriculture, and music, and for admission to the legal and accountants' professions. The number of candidates for examination is increasing each year ; there were 4,964 entrants for the degree examinations in 1921, compared •with 3,671 in 1920, and the number of, candidates for matriculation has more than doubled in the last ten years. The table below gives the numbers qualifying for degrees and scholarships from the four University colleges : —

Number of Successful Candidates at the Examinations for Degrees in 1921.

In addition to these successes, 1,815 candidates passed sections of the examinations for degrees or for admission to professions; 45 gained certificates of proficiency. There were 125 candidates for the Entrance Scholarship Examination, 31 gaining scholarships, 46 others passing the examination with credit, and 44 qualifying for Matriculation. The number of candidates for the Matriculation Examination was 3,643, of whom 1,095 passed the whole examination, 526 completed partial passes, and 614 gained partial passes.

Up till the present the examinations in arts and science have been conducted by examiners appointed in Great Britain. The Senate has now agreed to conduct these examinations up to pass grade in New Zealand by the appointment of external examiners in the several subjects, who will act in conjunction with the responsible teacher of the subject in each college.

In addition to the matriculated students mentioned above there were 199 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 by passing the annual college examination. Of the 3,924 students attending University colleges, 1,656, or 41 per cent., were receiving free tuition, being the holders of scholarships, bursaries, or trainingcollege studentships. In addition to the students attending the four University colleges, fifty-three students, of whom six were Government-bursary holders and two were holders of Kitchener' Scholarships, were taking an agricultural course of university grade at the Lincoln Agricultural College in Canterbury.

Scholarships. University entrance scholarships are awarded annually on the results of the University Junior Scholarship Examination, and are as follow : University Junior, University National, and Taranaki Scholarships (open only to candidates resident in Taranaki), in addition to some thirty or forty local and privately endowed scholarships awarded on the results of the same examination. The value of a Junior Scholarship or a University National Scholarship is £20 per annum in addition to tuition fees ; students obliged to live away from home receive also a boarding-allowance of £30 per annum. Twenty-nine Junior University Scholarships and fifty-eight University National Scholarships were held during 1921. The expenditure by the University on scholarships was £2,985, and by the Education Department on University National Scholarships £3,634. In addition to the scholarships,' and partly in connection therewith, a scheme of bursaries entitling students to free tuition is also in operation, as set out in detail below. Scholarships awarded during the degree course are : Senior University Scholarships tenable by candidates for Honours, and awarded on the papers set for subjects in the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Examinations ; John Tinline Scholarship, awarded on the papers in English of the Senior Scholarship Examination ; Sir George Grey Scholarships for students of science subjects ; and a number of privately endowed scholarships open to students of the various colleges. Thirteen Senior University Scholarships were held during 1921. The chief scholarships awarded at the end of the University course are the Rhodes Scholarship, the 1851 Exhibition Scholarship, the Medical Travelling Scholarship, the Engineering Travelling Scholarship, the French Travelling Scholarship, National Research Scholarships (one of which is offered to each University college), and a post-graduate scholarship in arts. All, excepting the National Research Scholarships, are 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. The Rhodes scholar of 1922 is a student of Victoria College. The total number of Rhodes Scholarships that have been granted to date is twenty-one, of which six have been gained by students of Auckland University College, five by students of Otago University, six by students of Victoria University College, and four by students of Canterbury College. Up to the present twenty-one National Research Scholarships have been awarded, three being current at present, and the following being the subjects of research : " The nature of unsaturation in unsaturated acids and their derivatives " ;

" Atmospheric electricity, with specific reference to meteorological conditions " ; and " Radio-activity and helium content of New Zealand rocks, waters, and natural gases." Kitchener Memorial Scholarship.—A Kitchener Memorial Scholarship endowed by a private gentleman, and contributed to by other persons and by the Government, is awarded annually on the results of the Senior National Scholarship Examination for secondary-school pupils, and is intended for boys, being the sons of members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, who have taken an agricultural course. The scholarship is worth £50 per annum, and is tenable for two years at an agricultural college. One scholarship was awarded in each of the years 1919, 1920, and 1921, the first named having expired at the end of 1920, and an extension of a third year being granted to the second-named scholar. No award was made in 1922. University Bursaries. University bursaries are awarded under the University Amendment Act, 1914, on the credit pass in the University Junior Scholarship Examination or on a higher leaving - certificate qualification, and entitle the holder's to exemption from the payment of tuition and examination fees (not exceeding £20 per annum) during a three (or possibly four) years' course at a University college or school of agriculture recognized by the University. The number of University bursars in 1921 was 610, as compared with 558 in 1920, and the amount expended on their tuition and examination fees was £10,002, the cost per head being £16 7s. lid. Educational Bursaries. Educational bursaries may be awarded to persons complying with certain conditions who, having matriculated, are trained teachers, or teachers holding a class C certificate, or ex-pupil teachers, or ex-probationers. Bursars are bound to serve as teachers for a specified term of years. The bursaries provide free tuition up to an annual value of £20 for three years, with possibly two yearly extensions, at a University college or recognized school of agriculture. The classes taken must be such as to form part of the course in arts, science, or agriculture, and proof of satisfactory progress must be given. The number of educational bursars in 1921 was ninety-one, of which number twelve completed the three years' tenure of their bursaries. The amount expended on tuition and examination fees on account of educational bursaries was £874, the cost per head being £9 12s. Id. Domestic-science Bursaries. Domestic-science bursaries tenable at the Otago University may be awarded by the Director of Education to persons who hay (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 D 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, on completion of their course, to engage in teaching for not less than three years. The term of a bursary is two (or possibly three) years. The bursar 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. A large hostel is provided at which the great majority of the students reside. Bursaries of this kind were awarded to eleven students in 1921, making in all forty-four bursars in attendance at classes. Agricultural Bursaries. Agricultural bursaries may be granted by the Education Department to qualified candidates in order to enable them to obtain the necessary practical training

E.—7

for positions as teachers or agricultural instructors, after the completion of their training the bursars being under a legal obligation to serve for a term of three years in one or other of these capacities. The qualification for a bursary is Matriculation or a higher or lower leaving-certificate, and candidates are preferred who have received agricultural instruction during their secondary-schoo' course. In addition, ex-students of teachers' training colleges who desire to specialize in the teaching of agriculture may obtain bursaries to enable them to receive the necessary training in agriculture. Agricultural bursaries are tenable at an experimental farm, an agricultural college, or other approved institution for two years, with a possible extension to a third year. Bursars receive an allowance of £20 per annum with free tuition, and if obliged to live away from home a lodging-allowance of £30 per annum. During 1921 six agricultural bursars attended Lincoln Agricultural College, two completing the second year of the course, and two of the remaining students having previously completed one year at a University college. In addition to these, seven bursars attended a University college, two being in their first year and five in the fourth year of their training. In nearly every case partial success towards the B.Ag. degree was recorded. The expenditure by the Department on agricultural bursaries for the year 1921 was £1,022. War Bursaries. Regulations made in 1918 provided for the award of bursaries at secondary schools, technical schools, and University colleges to the dependants of killed or disabled members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. By the provisions of these regulations such a dependant who is qualified to receive a University bursary or an educational bursary as described above may receive in addition an allowance of £10 per annum, together with a boarding-allowance of £30 per annum if obliged to live away from home while attending a University college. One bursar, after completing his secondary-school course, continued his bursary at a University college, taking an engineering course. Workers' Educational Association. The Workers' Educational Association, which works in conjunction with the four University colleges, continued its activities in 1921 with satisfactory results. Tutorial and preliminary classes are conducted for working men and women in such subjects as economics, psychology, social and industrial history, English literature, English composition, modern history, electricity, and hygiene ; in fact, the association announces its readiness to establish classes in almost any subject for which a sufficient number of students will be forthcoming. Members of the staffs of the University colleges and other highly qualified educationists act as tutors of the classes. Seventy classes and study circles were held, in 1921, with a roll number of 2,000. The Government now contributes directly £2,500 per annum to the movement, in addition to which £1,250 paid by the Government out of the National Endowment Fund to the University of New Zealand is devoted to the same object, making a total of £3,750. Voluntary contributions received by the University colleges on account of the association's classes are also subsidized by the Government.

Three were studying psychology, one economics, one modern history, and one English literature. Classes in outlying areas had to be discontinued owing to the impossibility of securing competent tutors ; changes in the location of Inspectors of the Education Department rendered them unavailable for this work, and no others of adequate status and ability were forthcoming. The Association's other activities—non-tutorial classes, study circles, and public literary lectures—were continued with vigour. During tho year a scheme was formulated for the engagement of a tutor - organizer to undertake organizing work throughout the University district and to take tutorial classes in a country area. Applications, returnable early in the following year, were invited for the position. 8. Arts Building. —ln the course of the year the competition for designs for the Arts Building was completed. The authors of the winning design were Messrs. Lippineott and Billson, architects, of Melbourne, and they were appointed architects for the work. They were given instructions to prepare plans also for a students' building to provide common rooms and adjuncts for student use. Negotiations with the Government proceeded throughout the year, both as to approval of the details of the accepted design and the building grant necessary ere the work, could proceed. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, Wellington. GsoßnE Fowlds, Chairman.

REPORT (A B RIDG ED). Sir, — Victoria University College, 14th June, 1922. Pursuant to section 44 of the Victoria College Act, 1905, the Council presents the following report for the year 1921-22 : — This College has to record another very successful year of work. The large increase in the number of students attending the College, which has been a feature of recent years, was maintained during the session of 1921. The total number of students in attendance during the session advanced from 680 to 742. The increased demand for higher education is a post-war phenomenon which exists in many countries, and apparently in all English-speaking communities. It is impossible to foresee whether the demand will continue to increase or whether there will eventually occur a decline in the number of students. The various departments of the College work have continued to be vigorously carried on throughout the year. Numbers of Students. —Tho following table gives the numbers of students attending classes during the last three, years : —

Two junior University scholars, four University National scholars, and fifty-three .University bursars began their studies at this University College. University Degrees and Scholarships. —ln the University examinations held in November, .1921, 219 students passed sections of their Bachelor's degrees; 29 obtained their Bachelor's degree in arts, 9in science, 17 in law, 3in commerce, and lin agriculture. At the same examinations 18 students obtained their Master's degree In arts, 13 (second-class honours, 5); in science, 2 (first-class honours, 2); in law, 3 (first-class honours, 1 ; third-class honours, I). The following scholarships and prizes were awarded to students of this University College: Senior University Scholarships (8); Rhodes Scholarship (1); French Travelling Scholarship (I); free, passages (3); llaben's Prize (I). It will be noted that students of the College have been particularly successful as regards scholarships and degrees. Out of eighteen senior scholarships awarded throughout the Dominion, students of this College have been awarded seven. Buildings. —The contracts for the erection of the two new wings of the College have been practically completed, and the, additional accommodation is being occupied for the 1922 session. Both contracts have been carried out in a satisfactory manner, and very important additions have thereby been made to the accommodation of the College. The main feature of the north wing addition is the provision of a very fine library hall. The south wing will accommodate the departments of physics and geology, The equipment for the teaching of physics and for physical research is most efficient, and compares more than favourably with any other similar provision in New Zealand. From an architectural point of view the new works complete the construction of the main building, which now presents a strikingly handsome appearance. The additional accommodation provided was urgently required, and there is still need for a larger lecture-room than any of those available. The largest room will accommodate, a maximum of 150 students, whilst some of the classes during the session of 1921 were larger than this number. The completion of the large lecture-room on the top floor of the south wing, which was not included in the contract, will soon be an urgent necessity. Library. —Several gifts of books have been made to the College, and upon these Government subsidies have been paid. Arrangement has been made for the College to house the, library of the New Zealand Institute, and with this addition the library will, in most scientific subjects, be the best in New Zealand. Special Schools. —The question of providing special schools for this University College has not yet been settled. The proposed Schools of Forestry and Agriculture have not yet been allocated. The Council again suggests that a School of Agriculture can be appropriately founded in the College, and points out that with the co-operation of the expert staff of the Government Agricultural Department and the experimental farms at Weraroa and Wallaceville important work could be done at Victoria University College which would be of great value to the whole Dominion. Day Classes. —The Council have had under consideration the question of establishing classes in the daytime for those students who are prepared to give the whole of their time to University work. With the present arrangement of night classes only, full-time students may be said to be actually discouraged. As some additional expense would be occasioned by any change in this direction, the Council did not see its way to make any change at present. It looks forward, however, to provision being made in this direction so that due encouragement may be given to students to give the whole of their time and attention to their course at the College. Hostels. —The proper accommodation of students who have left their homes for educational purposes in Wellington is still an unsolved problem. The foundation of one, or more residential colleges connected with this University College is becoming each year a more urgent need, and is essential to the proper development of the work of the College. The country student coming to Wellington is faced with difficulties and inconveniences which should not exist.

Education. —Tho position of the Department of Education in the College has this year become acute. The provision of advanced and honours courses, and of a diploma of Education, has entailed an enormous amount of extra work, and the Council has therefore made a temporary arrangement with the Education Department providing for assistance to Professor Tennant. The Council, however, is strongly of opinion that a now departure should be made next year, and that a professor should be appointed who, while still co-operating with the Training College, would be able to give his whole time to the University work. This change will, of course, involve additional financial aid from the Government, and it is hoped that the Department may be able to see its way to grant this in time for an appointment to be made next year. Workers' Educational Association. —Good work continues to be done by this association within the College district. The question of finance, as hitherto, continues somewhat to retard the good work, and it is again suggested that the Government grant should be distributed with some regard to the size and population of the district covered and the work actually done.

Finance. —The total revenue on Maintenance Accounts, from all sources, shows a decrease of £2,040 on the previous year. The figures for 1921. are £80,851, and for 1920 £82,891. The difference is more than accounted for in outstanding rents at the close of the year, a large proportion of which have since been received. The total payments on all accounts amounted to £77,680, being £222 more than the year 1920. The income exceeded payments by £3,171. Government subsidies, grants, and capitation, included in the above revenue, amounted to £30,744. Other Government grants were £3,950 for buildings and sites, and £1,708 from the national endowment, making a total sum of £36,402 received from the Government. The revenue on the College Maintenance. Account was £30,025, anil the payments £31,821. The payments were £1,796 more than the income, but the difference was more than covered by outstandingrents at the close of the year. The revenue was £571 less than the previous year, and payments were £4,575 more than the previous year. The increase in payments is accounted for largely by an aggregate increase of salaries amounting to £3,280. The rent received from the College endowments was £12,206, and other items of revenue were —fees, £5,447; Government grants, £3,046; national endowment, £2,561 ; and boarding fees, £4,343. The larger items of expenditure were —salaries, £18,591 ; interest, £1,363 ; College library, £881 ; Workers' Educational Association, £350; contribution to School of Engineering, £614 ; and hostels, £5,006, including £756 for furniture, &c. The College Buildings and Sites Account was reduced by £1,197, the total debit at the close of the year being £14,912. The total revenue of the School of Engineering was £9,986, and the total payments were £8,430. Revenue showed an increase on the previous year of £2,509, and payments an increase of £1,900. Government grants and capitation amounted to £5,945. Fees were £2,274, and appropriations from endowments £1,614. Salaries, £6,297, are the main items of expenditure ; £500 was transferred to the Replacement and Contingencies Fund, which now amounts to £1,564. Payments on account of the new building amounted to £659.

College. —During the year the Board decided, in pursuance of the provision of the Canterbury College Empowering Act, 1908, to appoint a Rector of the College. Dr. Charles Chilton, Professor of Biology, was offered and accepted the position. A Chair of Geology was also established; Mr. Speight, M.A., M.Sc, <&c, who has been Lecturer in Geology since 1903, was offered and accepted the professorship. Excluding the School of Engineering, there were at the end of 1921 twelve professors, five lecturers, and sixteen assistant lecturers or demonstrators on the College staff. The number of students decreased during the year from 761 to 594. The number of matriculated students fell from 490 to 427. The number of matriculated men students fell from 329 to 328, and the number of women students from 161 to 99. Both the men's and women's hostels have been full, and several applicants had to be refused admission. Our College should endeavour to educate the adult population by means of courses in any subjecWor which there are sufficient students offering. This, however, can only be done by liberal benefaction to the College funds. The teaching of agricultural science in New Zealand ought to have its headquarters at Christchurch, which is the admitted agricultural centre of New Zealand. Next year the College will complete its jubilee, and means are being taken to properly commemorate this historic event. A Lecturer on Forestry has been appointed. New Zealand is only just beginning to develop its higher education. Up to the present time the functions of the University College have been mainly an advanced type of school for training young men and women. This view of a University is, however, likely to be completely changed in the course of the next few years. College training should be merely an incident in the modern University. A University should seek after knowledge and truth in any form. People, whether adults or youths, seeking after knowledge should be able to satisfy their desire for learning at the modern University, which, like that of the Middle Ages, should be a place for learning as well as a place, of education. If this view is accepted it means that the University must be continually expanding and progressing. This means that the University must bear continually increasingfinancial burdens. The education vote has increased enormously in the last few years in NewZealand, and many people are suggesting that there must be a reduction in expenditure on education. Yet the increase on the education vote in New Zealand is not so great proportionately as that of England. Other countries are spending vast sums on education, and if New Zealand is to compete with them it must see that its system of higher education and learning is at least as good as that of its competitors. Workers' Educational Association- This association has expanded during the year. The classes and circles have risen from twelve to twenty-two. New subjects have been taken, such as biology, music, and industrial psychology, and a full-time tutor was appointed on the West Coast. A summer school was held at Little River at Christmas-time, and 100 students attended —sonic coming from Whangarei and lnvercargill. The difficulty this work has to contend with is the lack of suitable instructors, and the only permanent solution is the appointment of full-time tutors. During the year the Senate appointed a committee to inquire into and report on the work of the Workers' Educational Association throughout the country. The report demonstrated the good work of the movement, and showed to the public the, numerous activities which are being undertaken to bring higher education within reach of the masses. The Workers' Educational Association movement has created a great interest in education and in social problems affecting the welfare of the people. School of Engineering. —Additional buildings are in course of erection for the School of Engineering, but, owing to the great increase in the cost of building, the erection of the new Boys' High School at Riccarton has been postponed, and as a result the Engineering School will not at present be able to take over the existing High School buildings. During the year 297 students attended lectures in engineering, and of this number 124 were matriculated, being an increase of thirteen on the previous year. Professor Scott, Director of the School, intimated at the end of the year his intention of retiring from the service of the Board. He has been granted a year's leave of absence, and Mr. Powell is carrying out the duties of Director of the. School during the period of Professor Scott's leave. The Board has decided to establish a Faculty of Engineering. Under the direction of Professor Scott the School of Engineering has grown to be one of the recognized training-schools in the British Empire, and his name will always be associated with the school as its real founder.

Chapman, Esq., B.A. The Chancellor of the University of Otago to His Excellency the Governor-General (abridged). Your Excellency,— I have the honour herewith to report on the proceedings of the University of Otago for the ye<ir ended 31st December, 1921. The Council. —It was with universal regret that the Council at its April meeting received an intimation from the Vice-Chancellor, Sir John Roberts, that the time had arrived when he must ask to be relieved of his duties as Vice-Chancellor and as a member of the Council. Sir John Roberts had been a Councillor for two periods, covering in all a membership of twenty years ; during this time he had, by his singleness of purpose, his zeal for the conservation of University interests, and his kindly courtesy, won the highest respect of all members. Our good wishes go with him in his retirement. To fill the vacancy thus caused Mr. T. K. Sidey, M.P., the senior Councillor, was appointed. Vice-Chancellor, and Mr. G. R. Ritchie was appointed a member of the Council. The Teaching Staff.- I regret that it is necessary for me to report tho loss, by death, of one of our professors, Professor Champtaloup. Dr. Ohamptaloup was appointed to the teaching staff in 191.0. In 1911 he was made Professor of Bacteriology and Public Health, and for ton years rendered excellent service. His death at so early an age is deeply deplored by the Council, his colleagues, and the s udents. During the year no fewer than four new professors commenced their work in the University— viz., Mrs. Ann G. Strong, Professor of Domestic Arts ; Dr. J. R. Elder, Professor of History ; Mr. H. Ramsay, Professor of English ; Mr. W. H. Pringle, Professor of Economics. All these professors have taken up their duties with enthusiasm, and the University teaching-power is much strengthened by their appointment. During the year Professors Elder and Pringle have delivered series of public lectures, which met with a most gratifying measure of success. Buildings. —On the 3rd May the University was honoured by a visit from the Minister of Education, the Hon. C. J. Parr, who laid the foundation-stone of the new Physics Building. The completion of this building will meet a long-felt need, and will relieve the congestion at present existing in the Arts Building. A small addition has also been made to the Dental School. While the Council recognizes with thanks the assistance it has received from, the Government for these buildings, it cannot too strongly emphasize the fact that the present buildings are still quite inadequate for the work of the University. The Dental additions are only of a temporary nature, and the crowded condition of the school is not in the interests of efficiency. Moreover, additional buildings for the Medical School, as pointed out in previous reports,' are still urgently required. '™fi | Finance. —The question of finance has given the Council much concern during the past year, and the prospects for the current year are, not bright. Owing to the depressed condition of the woolmarket some of the University tenants have made representations to the effect that they are unable to meet the present rentals of their holdings. In consequence of these, representations legislation has been passed making it legal for the Land Board, with the consent of the University Council, to reduce the rents payable by these tenants, and probably some relief will have to be given in the direction indicated. Such action, however, together with the fact that the tenants are already in arrears to the extent of some £1,000, is calculated to have a very serious effect on the Council's finances. The Council sincerely trusts, therefore, that the provisions of the Public Expenditure Adjustment Act, which, provides for a decrease in the Government grants to University colleges, will not be put in to operation, since the result would be most embarrassing to the Council.

Sir, — I have the honour, by direction of the Board of Governors, to submit the following report on the work of the institution for the year 1921, and in pursuance of the Canterbury College and Canterbury Agricultural College Act, 1896 : — Fifty-three students were enrolled in 1921, and the number in residence during the whole year was up to the full limit of accommodation. Of these, six were holders of agricultural bursaries under the Department of Education, two were holders of Kitchener Scholarships, and nine wore returned soldiers. Ten students entered for various subjects set for the degree ; one student completed his degree course at Canterbury College, and four others completed, in all but one or two subjects. The, work of tho students both in class and farm work was satisfactory, and competition for prizes was very keen. Sixteen students left the College during the year, of whom four had been in residence for one year, three for two years, and nine had completed the full course. Of the latter, six satisfied the examiners and were awarded the diploma of the College. Mr. L. ,1. Wild resigned his position as Lecturer in Chemistry, and Mr. W. C. Purdie, B.Sc, an ex-student of the College, was appointed to the vacancy.

The seed-wheat and oat improvement scheme was carried further, in the interests of the farming community, the assistance and co-operation of tho Department of Agriculture being continued. The Department also took over the seed-wheat and distributed it among growers. It is a matter of regret that the Department notified us at the end of the year that they would not take over the seed-wheat for the 1921.-22 season. The College and main buildings have been kept in' a good state of repair. The whole of the interior of the College has been painted and distempered. The farm has been maintained at its former high state of fertility, and, together with the stock, meets with very favourable criticism from visitors and farmers attending our annual gathering. The stud stock, besides being of high educational value, meets with a ready sale among farmers and stud breeders. Some time ago the Board of Governors decided to acquire a Shorthorn bull of the dairying type, but owing to shipping and other difficulties were unable to fulfil their wish till April, 1921, when they succeeded in landing a bull from the well-known British herd of Sir Gilbert Greenall.
