No. I.—EXTKACT FROM THE FORTY-SIXTH 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 Naval 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 £3,845 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 1922-23 was £3,172. 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 engineering, school of law, school of commerce, and a school of architecture ; and Victoria University College specializes in law and science.

The affiliated colleges receive annual statutory Government grants (somewhat reduced in 1922 owing to the operation of the Public Expenditure Adjustment Act) towards meeting the expenses of their general maintenance as follows : Auckland University College, £10,600 ; Victoria University College, £10,600; Canterbury College, £3,600 ; Otago University, £8,200. 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 1922 being £25,969. 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 1922-23 being £1,586. 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; £8,236 was paid to the colleges by way of subsidy in 1922-23, and £55,362 as grants for extended buildings arid sites. The total amount paid by the Education Department on account of the University of New Zealand and the affiliated, colleges for the year 1922-23, as shown below, was £128,974, as against £117,434 in the previous year. The total expenditure of these institutions on University education (exclusive of trust funds) was £223,000. i Payments by Education Department on account of Higher Education, 1922-23.

New Zealand University. The University conducted inp.922|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 5,467 entrants for the degree examinations in 1922, compared with. 4,964 in 1921, and the number of candidates for matriculation has more than trebled 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 1922.

In addition to these successes, 2,731 candidates passed sections of the examinations for degrees or for admission to professions ; 97 gained certificates of proficiency. There were 156 candidates for the Entrance Scholarship Examination, 35 gaining scholarships, 70 others pass'ng the examination with credit, and 34 qualifying for matriculation. The number of candidates for the Matriculation Examination was 4,143, of whom 1,052 passed the whole examination, 516 completed partial passes, and 723 gained partial passes. The method of appointing examiners in New Zealand for the pass grade of the B.A. and B.Sc. degree examinations was inaugurated in 1922, most of the examiners giving satisfaction both in the setting and marking of the examinationpapers. A great benefit to candidates was the much earlier notification of results than is possible when the papers are sent to England for marking.

Affiliated Colleges. (Tables MI-MS.) The number of students in attendance at the four University colleges in 1922 was 3,683, as compared with 3,924 in the preceding year. The figures for 1918, 1921, and 1922 are shown below, and it will be seen that although the number of students went back in 1922 there has been an increase since the year 1918 of 72 per cent. It is also to be observed that the women students entirely account for the reduction in numbers in 1922. Students attending University Colleges. 1918. 1921. 1922.

The large number of non-matriculated students is chiefly accounted for by the presence at the colleges of training-college students taking one or two subjects in connection with their course of training, and engineering students working for a diploma. In addition to the matriculated students mentioned, above there were 275 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 3,683 students attending University colleges, 1,578, or 43 per cent., were receiving free tuition, being the holders of scholarships, bursaries, or trainingcollege studentships. The numbers of students taking the various subjects were as follows : English, 590 ; law, 552 ; education, 532 ; medicine, 402 ; French, 384 ; engineering, 372 ; economics, 365 ; chemistry, 362; Latin, 353 ; physics, 305 ; philosophy, 293 ; commercial subjects, 292 ; pure mathematics, 257 ; and other subjects by smaller numbers. In addition to the students attending the four University colleges, some fifty students, of whom seven were Government-bursary holders and one was a holder of a Kitchener Scholarship, were taking an agricultural course of university grade at the Lincoln Agricultural College in Canterbury. The number of full-time professors employed in the four University colleges at the end of 1922 was as follows : Auckland, 10 ; Victoria, 13 ; Canterbury, 12 ; OtagO, 21 : total, 56. In addition a number of part-time professors and large staffs of lecturers and assistants were employed. The average salary of full-time professors was £831, and the total expenditure by the four colleges on salaries for the year £84,850, as compared with £89,857 in the previous year. Finances of the Affiliated, Colleges, 1922. The total receipts of the University colleges for the year 1922 amounted to £215,500, of which sum £128,066 was received directly from the Government and £3,169 indirectly from the Government through the University of New Zealand. The receipts from the Government included £42,225 maintenance grants and

apportionment of national-endowment revenue, and £62,437 grants for buildings and equipment. Receipts fromjlocal sources included £25,969 income from reserves and £39,758 fees. The total payments amounted to £194,968, of which the principal items were — salaries, £84,850 ; buildings, £55,532 ; equipment, £10,943 ; administration, £14,863. Free Education at University Colleges. What may be regarded as generous provision is made for free education and for allowances for students the University colleges, 43 per cent., as mentioned above, of the students receiving free tuition. Scholarships. University entrance scholarships are awarded annually on the results of the University Junior Scholarship Examination, and are as follows : 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 ; and when necessary a boarding-allowance of £30 per annum. Twenty-eight Junior University Scholarships and fifty-two University National Scholarships were held during 1922. The expenditure by the University on scholarships was £3,096, and by the Education Department on University National Scholarships £3,246. 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. Twelve Senior University Scholarships were held during 1922. 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 1923 is a student of Otago University. The total number of Rhodes Scholarships that have been granted to date is twenty-two, of which six have been gained by students of Auckland University College, six by students of Otago University, six by students of Victoria University College, and four by students of Canterbury College. Up to the present twenty-two National Research Scholarships have been awarded, two being current at present, and the following being the subjects of research : " The nature of unsaturation in unsaturated acids and their derivatives " ; and " The root-nodules of conifers and other New Zealand trees." 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 to secondary-school pupils, being intended for boys, 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, and, the first two having expired, an extension of a third year has been granted in the third case. No award was made in 1922 or 1923.

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 holders 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 numberrof University bursars in 1922 was 598, and the amount expended on their tuition and examination fees was £10,218, the cost per head being £17 Is. 9d. 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 1922 was sixty-four. The amount expended on tuition and examination fees being £705, or £11 Os. 4d. per head. Domestic-science Bursaries. Domestic-science bursaries tenable at the Otago University may be awarded to persons who 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 D teachers' certificate ; or (3.) Gained a higher leaving certificate or, in the case of pupil-teachers or probationers, a lower leaving certificate. The term of a bursary is two (or possibly three) years, and bursars are required, on completion of their course, to engage in teaching for not less than 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 ten students in 1922, making in all thirty-six bursars in attendance at classes. The cost to the Education Department in the year 1922-23 wasT£2,692. 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 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-school course. In addition, ex-students of teachers' training colleges who desire to specialize in the teaching of agriculture may obtain the bursaries. They 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 lodgingallowance of £30 per annum. During 1922 seven agricultural bursars were attending Lincoln Agricultural College, and three a University college. Tn nearly every case partial success towards the B.Ag. degree was recorded. The expenditure by the Department on agricultural bursaries for the year 1922 was £632.

Engineering Bursaries. Engineering bursaries tenable for three to five years at any school of engineering and technical science attached to or recognized by a University college may be granted to applicants possessing certain defined qualifications, including the completion of a fairly thorough preliminary course of study of the science of engineering. The bursaries cover the cost of tuition and examination fees, and where necessary a boarding-allowance of £50 per annum. Four such bursaries were held in 1922, the cost of them to the Education Department for the year being £287. War Bursaries. War bursaries tenable at secondary schools, technical schools, and University colleges may be awarded to the dependants of killed or disabled members of the New Zealand Expeditionary Forces. 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, and a boarding-allowance of £30 per annum if obliged to live away from home while attending a University college. Only one such war bursary tenable at a University college has so far been awarded. Workers' Educational Association. The Workers' Educational Association, which works in conjunction with the four University colleges, continued its activities in 1922 with increasingly 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-two classes were held in 1922, with a roll number of 2,500. The Government 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, the amount paid on this account in 1922-23 being £610.

REPORT (ABRIDGED) OF THE VICTORIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE COUNCIL. Sir, — Pursuant to section 44 of the Victoria College. Act, 1905, the Council presents the following report for the year 1922-23 :— The College has to report that the work for the year has been carried on successfully in the various departments. The number of students in attendance at lectures has remained, practically the same as for last year. Number of Students.—The following table gives the number of students attending classes during the last three years : —

From the above figures it will be noticed that, while there has been a slight drop (fourteen) in the total number of students attending, the number of matriculated students taking full degree courses has increased by thirty-nine. A further drop in the number of unmatridilated students may be expected as a result of the new policy of the Department with regard to the Training College. One Junior University scholar, two University National scholars, and fifty-eight University bursars began their studies at this University College. University Degrees and Scholarships.-- In the University examinations held in November, 1922, 329 students passed sections of their Bachelor's degree, 29 obtained their Bachelor's degree in Arts, 11 in Science, 20 in Law, 2in Commerce, and lin Agriculture. At the same examination 29 students obtained their Master's degree —in Arts, 17 (first-class honours 3, second-class honours 5) ; in Science, 7 (first-class honours 3, second-class honours 3) ; in Law, 5 (first-class honours 1, second-class honours 2, third-class honours 1). Two senior University scholarships were awarded to students of the College. Library. —This year sees the College library itself transferred to the new wing, while work is proceeding on the books of the New Zealand Institute. Special School: Agriculture. —In last year's report the Council pointed out the desirability of some special school being attached to Victoria University College, and suggested that this should be the School of Agriculture. This desire is now in sight of fulfilment owing to the munificence of Sir Walter Buchanan, whose gift of £10,000 towards the foundation of a School of Agriculture has been accepted by the College. The Council would stress the importance of placing this school from the beginning on. a thoroughly sound basis, with proper provision for the necessary teachers, laboratories, and equipment. The well-being of agriculture is all-important in New Zealand, and it is hoped that no time will now be lost in beginning research and teaching in the new school. Hostels. —The Council has previously called attention to the fact that under present conditions the College is unable to fulfil the true functions of a University. A University should not be merely a place where learning is disseminated —where students come to classes and then go home without interchange of ideas with their fellow-students. It should be the ground where our young people may prepare to take part in the affairs of tho nation, and where they may cultivate the qualities of leadership and sympathy. A very real need of the College at the present time is the provision of hostels for both men and women. At present students find great difficulty in securing lodgings, and this difficulty is likely to continue owing to the special conditions of life in the capital city. Probably three or four hundred of our students, are scattered in lodgings throughout the city ; they have no opportunities for knowing one another ; they are in their home life removed from an atmosphere of thought; they lack the refining and stimulating influences which are found in community life directed by a capable and cultured head. Hostel life provides a nucleus about which the true university spirit will grow, and the provision of adequate hostels would prove a big step in the development of such a spirit. Day Teaching. —Again the Council would call attention to the fact that the work of a university can never be fully satisfactory unless day teaching be instituted. There is an increasing number of students who give up their whole time to study, and others would, if facilities existed, give up their whole time. The staff is at present inadequate for both day and evening lectures, but the Council trusts that the time is not far distant when adequate funds will be available for the appointment of such assistants as will enable a start to be made in day teaching. Buildings. —The Council has completed the top floor of the physics wing. The large lecturetheatre on this floor will be of great service not only for the physics department, but also as a room for public lectures. The completion of the. north and south wings has given the College adequate accommodation for present needs. The inauguration of the Sir Walter Buchanan School of Agriculture may, however, necessitate further extensions in the way of laboratory accommodation. Staff: Chair of Physics. —Consequent upon the appointment of Professor E. Marsden to the position of Assistant Director of Education, it became necessary to appoint a successor. Acting on

the recommendation of Sir Ernest Rutherford the Council appointed Professor D. C. H. Florance, of Hong Kong University. Professor Florance has arrived and has taken up his duties. Chair of Education. —Professor J. S. Tennant resigned his position as from the 31st December, 1922. The Department then made new arrangements whereby a sum sufficient for the professor's salary should be added to the statutory grant, in order to enable the Council to appoint a Professor of Education who should devote his whole time to the work. Mr. Tennant having resigned his position as Principal of the Training College, the Council resolved, to offer him the new Chair of Education. The College has made a working arrangement with the Education Department whereby a close co-ordination will be established between the Chair and the Training College. It is hoped that this arrangement will work satisfactorily. In providing for the professor's salary as stated, the Department has concurrently withdrawn payment of College fees for the attendance of Training College students at the education classes. The effect of this has been to place the major portion of the burden of the professor's salary upon the College funds. It is to be hoped, that as soon as finances permit the Department will resume payment of fees for education, as the amount which they represent is urgently required for various College activities. Workers' Educational Association. —16 classes have been carried on in the following centres : Wellington, 8 ; New Plymouth, 1 ; Palmerston North, 2 ; Westport, 1 ; Feilding, 1 ; Levin, 1 ; Shannon, 1; Miranui, 1. The following subjects have been taught: Economics (4); psychology (5) ; English literature (3) ; sociology (1) ; anthropology (1) ; electricity (1) ; appreciation of music (1). The Council views with satisfaction the progress that these classes are making, and especially the fact that a comparatively wide range of subjects is taught. The reports of tutors forwarded through the Tutorial Classes Committee indicate that members of the various classes have shown much interest in their work. Another satisfactory feature of these classes is the largo number of occupations given by students on their enrolment forms, showing that advantage is being taken of these classes by people in nearly all walks of life.

EXTRACT FROM THE ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. I now have the honour to place before you the fiftieth annual report of the Chairman of the Board. This constitutes a landmark in the history of the College. When we look at the buildings which contain our College, and examine the names of the distinguished men who have served our institutions, and peruse the roll of our graduates, we cannot but appreciate, the vision and ideals of those men who created, the Canterbury College. The Jubilee of the College is but a fitting memorial to the founders of higher education in Canterbury. I am glad to say that there has been a splendid recovery in the price of our pastoral products, as it is upon these that the Board depends so largely for its revenues. The detailed statements of the finances show that the finances of the various institutions controlled by the Board are in a sound position. But in my opinion it is still necessary for the Board to exercise care in this direction, as the demands upon our revenues are likely to increase like a snowball as time goes on. Finance. —The total revenue from all sources on the various Maintenance Accounts was £72,585, and the expenditure £71,554. Both receipts and payments show a decrease on the previous year, owing largely to adjustments of Government grants. The income of all the institutions exceeded the payments by £1,031. Government subsidies, grants, and capitation included in the above revenue amounted to £20,740. Other Government grants were £8,693 (School of Engineering) for buildings, and £1,586 from the national endowment, making a total sum of £31,019 received from the Government. The total expenditure from capital for the year was £8,349, made up principally of an expenditure of £8,093 on new buildings for the School of Engineering. The revenue on the College Maintenance Account was £31,460, and the total payments £30,865. The revenue exceeded payments by £595. The revenue was £1,435 more than the previous year, and the payments £956 less. The principal items of income were —Rent, £16,269 ; fees, £4,959 ; Government grants, £2,301 ; national endowment, £2,378; and boarding foes, £4,322. Payments include salaries, £19,112; interest, £1,112; College library, £396 ; Workers' Educational Association, £350 ; contribution to School of Engineering, £1,200 ; and hostels, £4,300. The debit balance of the College Buildings and Sites Account was reduced by £1,536, and now amounts to £13,376. The total revenue of the School of Engineering was £7,848, being £2,138 less than the previous year, and the total payments were £7,924, being £506 less than the previous year, and £76 in excess of the revenue. There was an increase of £122 in the fees received, the total under this head being £2,396. There was also an increase in the appropriation from endowments. The Government grants show a decrease of £2,748. Payments include salaries, £6,567, which is a small increase on the previous year. Payments on account of the new building were £8,093, the whole of which was refunded from the parliamentary grant made for the purpose. College. —By the provisions of the amending Act of 1922, the membership of the Board of Governors was increased from nineteen to twenty. The Professorial Board were given two representatives on the Board, one of whom is the Rector and the other is elected by the Professorial Board. The Board decided to establish faculties, and, in consequence, five faculties in arts, science, commerce and law, engineering, and mental, moral, and social science -were set up. On the retirement of the Director of the School of Engineering, the Board decided to establish three Chairs of Engineering —namely, in mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering. The lecturers holding positions in these subjects were offered and accepted the Chairs in their respective subjects. The school has been definitely recognized by the Government as a National School of Engineering. There were 274 students attending lectures during the year. The new buildings should be completed by the middle of 1923. The teaching staff of the College now consists of fifteen professors, seven lecturers, and twentyfive assistant lecturers, assistants, or demonstrators. The number of students during the year was 814, as against 767 in 1921. The number of matriculated men students was 320, as against 328 in 1921, and women students 107, as against 99 in 1921. Both the men's and women's hostels were full, and were in a sound financial position. The Workers' Educational Association. —The number of classes established in 1922 was twentyone, with 753 students, of whom 559 were effective. There were five classes on the West Coast, four in North Canterbury, three in Timaru, and nine in Christchurch. A winter school was held at Hokitika, at which seventy-five students attended. A summer school was held at Leithfield, which was attended by over one hundred students.

Your Excellency,— I have the honour to forward herewith a report on the proceedings of the University of Otago for the year ended 31st December, 1922. The Council. —During the year the, following Councillors retired from office : Professor Hewitson, Mr. J. 11. Walker, and Mr. P. MeKinlay, M.A. All of these gentleman during their term of membership devoted themselves most loyally to the Council's interests. To fill the vacancies thus created the following.have been appointed : Mr. J. Ronnie, 8.A., B.Sc, elected by tho District Court of Convocation ; His Worship the Mayor of Dunedin, Mr. J. S. Douglas, elected by the Dunedin City Council; and Mr. James Wallace, elected by the Otago Education Board. Professorial Staff. —It is with deep regret that I am obliged to refer to the death of Professor Sale, which occurred on Christmas Day, 1922. Professor Sale, was appointed first Professor of Classics in 1870 ;he served in that capacity for thirty-seven years that is, until the year 1907, when owing to failing health he sought to be relieved of his duties. The University then appointed him Professor Emeritus. His death at tint ripe age of ninety-one breaks the last link connecting the University of to-day with the University of 1869. To fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Champtaloup, Professor of Bacteriology and Public Health, the Council has appointed Dr. C. E. Hercus, M.D., D.P.H., 8.D.5., D.S.O. Another Chair fell vacant during the year, owing to the resignation of Professor Pringle from the Chair of Economics. This vacancy had not been filled on the 31st December last, but since that date an appointment has been made. Finance. —I regret to state that the Council's finances are still in a straitened condition. By exercising the strictest economy the honorary treasurer was able to make both ends meet on the 31st December last; to achieve this result, however, it was necessary to reduce the salaries paid to the staff. The Council feels strongly that the salaries paid to the professors are not commensurate with the importance of the duties attaching to their high office, and that if we are to retain the services of efficient men we must pay them adequate salaries. The influence of the professors is very widely exercised ; it is felt in public life, in our industries, education, and in the Church. An •inefficient

professoriate should therefore be most carefully guarded against. To allow of the payment of reasonable remuneration the Council respectfully urges that the grant payable to the University be restored to its full amount at the earliest possible date. My reference to the University's finances would not be complete if I did not refer to certain generous benefactions received by the University during the year. The late Mr. George Young bequeathed the sum of £1,500 for scholarship purposes, while Mr. Willi Fels donated the sum of £5,000 to be accumulated for a term and later used for additions to the Museum. To this amount Mr. de Beer added £1,000, to be utilized towards the fitting of these additions when erected. These welcome gifts are greatly appreciated by the Council, and will help in the, development of the work of the University. At the same time we desire to point out that for the provision of current expenditure the Council requires considerably increased revenue. Benefactions have enabled us to offer some valuable research scholarships, /such as the John Edmond, value £200, and the Smeaton, value £175, both tenable for two years. The students holding these are doing valuable work, but the Council feels that if research is to be carried out under the most promising conditions research scholarships should be offered of higher value, ranging, say, from £400 to £500, and tenable for four or five years. The provision of such scholarships would enable the University to retain the best graduates for the purpose of carrying on research work in conjunction with the professors, who should be relieved of some of the junior work and enabled to direct the work of the graduate students. These in turn would take some small part in the teaching. In my opinion the value of this research work to the Dominion cannot be overestimated. Buildings.- It is with pleasure that lam able to refer to the completion of the new physics classrooms, which now comfortably house the large classes in this subject and provide ample space for laboratory work. The new building also provides an artistic end wing to the main arts block. Whilst thanking the Government for this important building, I. cannot refrain from again referring to the urgent needs of two other faculties, medicine and dentistry. The, need for additional accommodation for medical classes is still acute, whilst the congested condition of the Dental School is such as to make, efficient teaching almost impossible. The Council respectfully urges that these important schools receive early and sympathetic consideration. The number of students in attendance during the past year has been a record one, as shown by the following:- Men: Graduates, 33 ; undergraduates, 661 ; non-matriculated, 116 : total, 810. Women: Graduates, 21 ; undergraduates, 294 ; non-matriculated, 78 : total, 393. Grand total, 1,203. Andrew Cameron, Chancellor. EXTRACTS FROM THE ANNUAL REPORTS OF DEANS OF THE VARIOUS FACULTIES. Faculty of Arts and Science. (W. B. Benham, M.A., D.Sc., F.R.S., Dean.) When a proposal of the Education Department that in future the A certificate would only be granted to those who had taken honours in education became known to us, a protest was sent forward against an alteration of the present system, on the grounds that the proposal would, if carried out, tend to lower the standards of general education of teachers, since it would be possible for them to take their degree of M.A. with no further study of ordinary educational subjects beyond the B.A. pass degree stage. Similar protests were sent from the other colleges, with the result that the former condition has been retained—viz., that honours in any subject would qualify for the A certificate —with, however, the proviso that the diploma in education must also bo taken. New regulations issued by the Education Department have resulted in the removal of the Training College students from the University class in English. In our opinion this is a retrograde step, for the severance of the future teachers in primary schools from a share in university life is the reverse of a policy which has for some time been followed. Now it appears that, apart from certain picked students who, in the opinion of the Principal, are capable of taking a degree, students from the Training Colleges are discouraged from attending classes in the University. When the second cut in salaries was imminent a memorandum from this faculty was sent to the Finance Committee of tho Council, pointing out that the professors at the other colleges were paid at a higher rate ; that at Victoria College only £50 had been deducted from their salaries ; and that here the men, doing the same work, were at a disadvantage in having less assistance in their work, and for the most part larger classes and more work. No action seems to have been taken by the Council to meet the request of this faculty that salaries should be made more nearly equal throughout the University. The removal of the physics department to its new quarters released certain rooms on the ground floor ; some of these have been allotted to Professors in Arts subjects, one is to be used as a Board room, the lecture-theatre will now be used for history and modern languages, and the old instrumentroom will serve as a tutorial class-room. During the session several members of this faculty have done their part in bringing the University into touch with the general public by means of addresses on their special subjects and by other activities. Several members of the faculty have also had papers, detailing the results of original research, published or presented to societies for publication in various journals. The method of appointing examiners in New Zealand for the pass grade of the B.A. and B.Sc. degree examinations was inaugurated this year, and most of the examiners gave satisfaction both in the character of their papers and in the marking. The results were for the most part published early in January, or even before the end of the year, which is of much importance to candidates. Statistics.— The total number of students attending courses of study in the faculty was 467, being an increase of 3 over last year's number, for though there were 15 more men there were 12 fewer women, there being a total of 205 men and 262 women. This number was distributed between the two sections as follows : Arts, 418, of whom 165 were men and 253 women; science, 49, of whom 40 were men and 9 women.

Faculty op Medicine. (H. L. Ferguson, M.A., M.D., &c, Dean.) I have to report that during the past year the new curriculum has come into operation for the first-year classes, and promises to work satisfactorily. In March sundry improvements in clinical teaching were introduced, and extra facilities in this direction were afforded by tho erection of side rooms for clinics in the hospital. The value of the system of Dominion scholarships has come to bo so much appreciated by the students that a number of them asked that the system should be continued on an unpaid footing rather than have the opportunity it afforded lost to them. The use of the empty house known as " Meenan's " was granted by the Council, and the Hospital Board agreed to cater for the residents in Meenan's at the rate of £1 7s. a week per head. The students in residence took advantage of the opportunities afforded them for clinical work, and it is a matter for regret that the Hospital Board have not seen their way to continue the catering facilities during the coming year. At present an attempt is being made to arrange for the catering elsewhere. It is very desirable from every point of view that, as we cannot get intern positions for our senior students, this semi-intern system should be continued if possible. The external, examiner for pathology and bacteriology this year was Professor Cleland, of Adelaide University, who came for the May examinations in these subjects, and later sent in to the Senate a favourable report on the work of the school in the departments involved. During the year we succeeded in gaining an extension of the facilities for obtaining experience in midwifery by our students, without which we should have been quite unable to comply with the regulations as to the number of cases attended. We have been endeavouring to make use as far as possible of opportunities for obtaining experience in this direction by those of our students who spend their holidays in other centres. Some provision will have to be made in the near future for intern experience in a maternity hospital for all students, in order to comply with the General Medical Council's requirements. In August the new regulations of the General Medical Council were received, and it is satisfactory to find that with certain minor alterations the six-year curriculum which we had adopted complies with the higher standard demanded by the Home authorities. The total number of students attending classes during the year was 373, as against 364 the previous year. The number of graduates during 1922 was sixty-three, but this large number is due to the fact that the final examination was held in November-December instead of February, 1923, so that the total includes the graduates from two classes. It is of interest to note that the first examination for the Ch.M. was held, and the one candidate who entered passed the examination with marked credit. Unfortunately, the financial condition of the Dominion during the past year has been such that we have not been able to obtain the Government's consent to the erection of the new departments of anatomy and physiology which, are so essential for the development of our teaching. The new regulations of the General Medical Council demand that the teaching of anatomy and physiology should be carried on hand-in-hand with the clinical subjects through the years of clinical study, and if we are to meet these requirements it is absolutely essential that the new buildings should be in occupation in the beginning of 1925. Seeing that the building operations will probably take eighteen months, and that there will be some delay in getting the site cleared, it is of the utmost importance that immediate steps should be taken in this matter. Faculty op Dentistry. (H. P. Pickerill, M.D., M.D.S., &c, Dean.) During the year 1922 the activities of the Dental School have increased considerably. More students than in any previous year have been in attendance, and the amount of clinical work done for patients is very much greater than anything done previously. Forty-two dental chairs have been in use every morning for the treatment of patients. Five thousand more operations were done in .1922 than in'l92l, and the sum of £2,329 was earned from this source. Students. —Ninety students have been in attendance, forty-three being degree and forty-seven certificate students. Out of the total number twelve were women students. Lectures. —Students are required to attend 80 per cent, of lectures and to pass terms examination in order to qualify for the certificates required by the New Zealand University prior to sitting for the professional examinations. During the year eight students obtained the B.D.S. degree and four the certificate of proficiency. Before the final examinations, and since, I received numerous inquiries from dentists all over New Zealand for recent graduates as assistants. Clinical and Practical Work. —This work, which, after all, is the most important of all in the training of a dentist, has been very much hampered for want of sufficient accommodation and equipment, the latter, of course, being dependent upon the former. Our needs have now utterly outgrown the possibilities of the present building, which is by its site, aspect, and construction totally unsuited for the purpose of a dental school; so that it is now no longer possible to give students an efficient training either in mechanical or surgical dentistry. This in itself is serious from a national point of view. In New Zealand, where every man, woman, and child is afflicted with some form of dental disease, and it is becoming more and more recognized that this is the primary cause of many other diseases, it is very necessary that the training of dentists should bo efficient. It is also very necessary that the standard and quality of our degree should be maintained : this in the present building is quite impossible. To make room for more dental operating-chairs our museum has been swept away, and our specimens and teaching models are no longer available for teaching purposes. Dentists from all over New Zealand are continually sending in valuable specimens, but I have nowhere to put them. There is no storage accommodation for all the common articles of everyday use. Apart from the enormous inconvenience of this, much money might be saved by buying goods in larger quantities if we had room for storage. The laboratory where lam supposed to teach dental histology and pathology will

25

E.—7

only accommodate a quarter of my classes at one time. The overcrowding in the anaesthetic department is still acute, and the atmosphere becomes extremely vitiated. For four years Mr. Davies and I have been reporting as strongly as possible on the extremely inadequate recovery-room accommodation. The temporary additions which are now under consideration will not in any way relieve the congestion mentioned above. The new regulations of the General Medical Council come into operation in 1923. The adoption of these will probably necessitate a live-years course. Amongst other things the General Medical Council requires 2,000 hours to be spent in studying mechanical dentistry. This will still further increase tho congestion in the mechanical department in fact, it is impossible to carry out this regulation with the space at present at our disposal. X-ray Work. —The present plant is doing good work, and Mr. Cardno is getting excellent skiagrams both for hospital patients and private patients sent by dentists and doctors. This, later, should be a good rovonuo-oarning department. It is much hindered on account of lack of accommodation. The X-ray room has to. be used for two other purposes. A special room should be available for this work and thus relieve congestion. Private patients would be more numerous, since at present they naturally resent somewhat being X-rayed in front of hospital patients. Faculty op Mines. (James Park, M.Am.lnst.M.E., &c, Dean.) During the session of 1922 forty-eight students attended the classes held by the School of Mines staff, these including sixteen taking the full assoeiateship and B.E. courses, two the diploma course in land and mine surveying, eight the B.A. and B.Sc. geology, and twenty-two dental metallurgy as prescribed for the degree of Bachelor of Dental Surgery and the certificate of proficiency. All of these passed the term and degree examinations. Last July the Otago Branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects requested the University Council to sanction the holding of the classes conducted by the Institute for its architectural students in connection with the School of Mines, where several of the subjects relating to architecture are already taught as part of tho mining and engineering course. The matter was referred to tho Mining Faculty and the Professorial Board, both of which agreed to recommend the, Council to accede to the request of the Institute. Early in 1.923 provision, will have to be made for the instruction of four students in applied electricity as prescribed, for the Third Professional Examination for the B.E. degree in mining. During 1922 fifty-two samples of ore were analysed for the public at schedule rates, and eighty samples of rocks and minerals reported on free of charge. Faculty op Law. (J. B. (Man, LL.B., Dean.) Only five, students offered themselves in constitutional history, of whom all five kept terms. Only one student offered himself in jurisprudence, and the class was not held. This disappointing result is attributed to the marked disinclination of students to undertake an LL.B. course : they prefer the shorter and easier method afforded by the Law Professional Examination. Many qualify in this way when they are too young to have a useful grasp of the subjects they have studied. It is gratifying to note that some eight or nine students have enrolled in each subject this session (1923), and the classes will be held. Roman law, international law, conflict, of laws : There is no teaching in these subjects at the Otago University. The Law Professional Subjects. —Classes in these subjects were held, as follows : — Subiect « Number of Number who * Students. kept Terms.

Practice and procedure .. .. .. .. . . 21 15 Faculty op Home Science. (G. Helen Rawson, Dean.) Students. —The year commenced with sixty-three students on the roll—twenty-nine of these taking the degree course, thirty the diploma course, and four special courses. At the end of the year thirteen students left the department, six having completed the work required for tho B.Sc. in Home Science, and three having qualified for the diploma. It is satisfactory to note that the services of these students were in considerable demand, and that we were unable to fill all the positions available in the schools. Curriculum. —This year the new regulations concerning the degree course came into force, and freshmen entered on the new basis. As was indicated in the Dean's report for 1921, the changes in the medical curriculum involve also the Home Science degree course, and special consideration must be given to the teaching of physiology to our degree students, who can no longer attend the junior physiology class as previously. The beneficial results of elaborating the household - arts courses aro already obvious. The students are not only acquiring more skill in manipulation, but they are now thoroughly trained in the scientific basis of their work. During the year the dietetics class has done valuable community work in computing diets for doctors and by assisting householders with diets, especially with those of children. A feature of the latter has boon the cooking and serving of the proposed diet by the students as a demonstration to the parents requiring assistance. Extension Work. —As the home-science work is becoming more widely known its community activities are rapidly increasing. This direct contact with .the community is of great advantage to the department, and we have appreciated the sympathy shown by the University Council with our

4—E. 7.

26

efforts in this direction. In extension work there is an ever-increasing field of usefulness, and we look forward to the time when this department will become a bureau of information and a centre for extension work among housewives. The Building. —Our chief improvement during the year has been the equipment of a laundry laboratory. For this purpose the room originally intended for a students' dressing-room has been utilized, and provision made for sixteen students. The improved equipment in the clothing-laboratory has greatly facilitated the teaching of textiles and clothing. Outlook. —Our chief development in the near future should be along tho line of training dietitians. The demand for dietitians is already felt, but until there is available a practice field, where our graduate students may serve as pupil dietitians, we cannot satisfactorily open up this new line of professional training. Preliminary steps have already been taken, and we have every hope that this work will soon bo fully established. Graduate Nurses' Training. —lnstitutions similar to this department in other countries are now co-operating with the hospital authorities in the training of graduate nurses. A preliminary discussion as to the advisability of such, co-operation here has taken place, and it is certainly an opportunity which should be considered when the staff is adequately increased. Urgent. Needs. —As stated in tho report of 1921, a practice house is one of our most urgent needs. Students who intend to teach require routine training in house-management under home conditions, rather than big-scale kitchen management such as is now available at Studholmo House. In schools, practice apartments are becoming usual for the training of the children, and home-science graduates should be prepared in their course to undertake the organization of such apartments. Studholme House. —During 1922 tho house, was filled to its utmost capacity, and several students were unable to> enter the course because accommodation was not available. In the spring term the housecraft class planned the necessary renovations in twelve rooms. The students calcimined, papered, and painted, besides selecting and making the necessary hangings and covers for furniture. The accommodation at Studholme House is now inadequate for the number of students applying. It will be necessary in 1923 for senior students to leave Studholme House in order to make room for new students. The. seniors, however, are required to come into residence for a month for housekeeping experience, and they suffer the hardship of maintaining their lodging and paying for residence at Studholme House during that period. Apart from this, it is also desirable that senior students should be in the house in order to assist in its government. A practice house would help to relieve this situation.

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 the institution for the year ending 31st December, 1922 : Fifty-four students were enrolled in 1922, the number in residence throughout the year being up to the full limit of accommodation. Of the students in residence, seven were holders of bursaries under the Education Department, two were holders of Kitchener Scholarships, and nine were returned soldiers or men who had been in camp.

The work of the students both in class and on the farm was satisfactory, and competition for the scholarships offered by the Board was very gratifying. Twenty-four students left at the end of the year : of these, three had been in residence for one year, four for two years, and seventeen for three years ; and of the latter, thirteen passed all their examinations and were awarded the diploma of the College. In addition, twelve students entered for various subjects set for the degree of Bachelor of Agriculture under the New Zealand University. The proportion of passes gained by these students was most gratifying to the teaching staff. Five students or ex-students completed the Bachelor of Agriculture course and gained their degrees. The scheme for improvement of cereals (chiefly wheat and oats) started by Dr. Hilgendorf in 1910 is being continued with the assistance and co-operation, of the Department of Agriculture. Pure strains of Algerian oats were under trial on a large scale for the first time this year. The results promise to be most gratifying. At the beginning of the year the Department of Agriculture intimated that it could not co-operate in the control of pure strains outside the College any longer. This decision was a matter the Board regretted very «much, as the demand for seed-wheat was much greater than the area reserved on the College could cope with. That Dr. Hilgendorf's work has been appreciated is amply demonstrated by the inquiries and bookings for seed months before time of seeding. For some years the Board has been hoping to co-operate with the Department of Agriculture in experimental work on the manuring of crops, grasses, and soil problems generally —to gather reliable data for agricultural instruction and information of farmers generally. There is a prospect that such co-operation may materialize. The work would be of far-reaching importance to the agricultural community, and of considerable advantage to the College from a teaching point of view. It would enable the College to employ its advanced students in work which would equip them more thoroughly as agricultural instructors, teachers, or research workers, and so would be of great value and indirect benefit to the Department. The Government is bound to undertake these investigations, and it would be much more economical for it to use our trained experimenters, our land, horses, and implements, than to set up a separate experiment station. At the beginning of the year the Board granted Dr. Hilgendorf a year's leave of absence to enable him to visit plant-breeding and experimental stations in Britain and Europe. The Board hopes that the information that he has obtained in regard to plant-breeding and experimental work will be of the greatest value not only to the College but to the Dominion as a whole. It is a matter of regret that their finances did not enable the Board to recoup Dr. Hilgendorf's expenses. The College buildings and surroundings have been kept in a good state of repair. The prospect of erecting a new chemical laboratory and some necessary additions to the main building are altogether beyond the resources of the College. The Board can only hope that the Government will come to their assistance in the matter. They were compelled to erect a small cottage for the Lecturer in Chemistry, with the result that their balance-sheet shows a debit balance at the end of the year. In addition, the farm buildings, which are of wood and iron, have reached an age when they are getting beyond repair, and funds will have to be provided to replace them. The farm has been maintained at its usual high state of fertility : the best proof of this is the high yields of grain obtained in the poor harvest of 1922, and returns from stock in the same year. The prospects and appearance of the farm at the end of 1922, in spite of the dry spring, were the subject of favourable comment from all visitors. The stock in 1922 also maintained their excellence and competed successfully at the shows at which they were exhibited. The stud stock are much sought after by breeders all over the Dominion. I have, &c, The Hon. Minister of Education, Wellington. R. E. Alexander, Director. CANTERBURY AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Statement of Receipts and Expenditure for the Year ended 31st December, 1922.
