REPORT (ABRIDGED). In pursuance of the provisions of the Auckland University College Act, 1882, the Council has the honour to make the following report for the year 1925 : — Number of Students. —The number of persons who attended lectures in this College in 1925 was 1,020. Staff. —During 1925 the teaching staff of the College was increased by the appointment of three new professors : Professor C. R. Knight, Architecture ; Professor H. H. Corbin, Forestry; and Professor W. Riddet, Agriculture. The appointment of a full-time Professor of Architecture has resulted in a remarkable increase in the number of students attending the school, not the least satisfactory part of the increase being the number of full-time students. It is evident that the school is filling a long-felt need. Professor Corbin arrived in October, and spent the remainder of the year in becoming acquainted with forestry conditions in New Zealand. Professor Riddet also arrived in October, and has spent much time touring the country districts and getting in touch with the farmers. Owing to changes in the regulations for the dental course adopted by the Senate, the subject of dental mechanics can now be taken in Auckland, and Mr. F. W. Craddock has been appointed lecturer in this subject. In regard to the course in medicine, regulations were drafted which permitted the final year being taken at, amongst other centres, Auckland, and arrangements are in train in this regard. Benefactions. —Messrs. Smith, Wylie, and Co. generously donated the sum of £2,000, spread over five years, to provide entrance scholarships in forestry. This handsome donation has enabled a number of students to embark upon the course for the degree in forestry, and is a most important factor in the success, already achieved, in the initiation of the school. The Sir James Gunson Scholarship in Agriculture.—During the year a large number of publicspirited citizens of Auckland decided to mark their appreciation of the services rendered by the retiring Mayor, Sir James Gunson, and Lady Gunson, and with this end in view a presentation was made to them. A portion of the amount collected (£1,300) was generously handed over to the College Council by Sir James . Gunson for the purpose of the establishment of the Sir James Gunson Scholarship in Agriculture. As a result of this munificent gift the Council was enabled to establish a post-graduate scholarship for research in agriculture or dairy science. Workers' Educational Association. —The year 1925 witnessed an extension of the movement. Twenty-eight classes were held, one of which was discontinued owing to insufficient attendance. The number of students was 1,648, of whom 1,289 were effective. The average attendance per week numbered 980. In addition, there were held seven six-lecture courses, the enrolments of which were approximately 620. The financial situation was made satisfactory in consequence of a financial campaign and more generous responses from the District and Borough Councils. Two week-end camps were held during the year, attended by thirty and sixty people respectively. During the year Mr. N. M. Richmond, 8.A., ex Rhodes scholar, was appointed as full-time tutor, and confined his tutorial activities mainly to the country. The College Council has continued to grant bursaries to Workers' Educational Association students. The bursars have continued to show exceptionally good records. Other activities of the association included a number of wireless lectures, installation of a separate telephone, formation of a Field Club, the purchase of a balopticon, and the holding of a dramatic-recital concert. It has been decided to stiffen up the standard of work, so that it is likely that the year 1926 will witness somewhat of a decline in numbers. The movement is entering into the years of continuous work after the initial period of renewed enthusiasm.

Pursuant to section 44 of the Victoria College Act, 1905, the Council presents the following report for the year 1925 : — The number of students attending lectures in 1925 was 806, practically the same number as for the previous year. Day Teaching in Science.—As indicated in last year's report, the question of day teaching in Science has been kept in view, with the result that in 1926 lectures and experimental work in Pure Science will be taken between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. It is hoped that in the course of a year or two it will be found possible to begin a similar change in Arts. Sir Ernest Rutherford's Visit. —During the year the College was visited by Sir Ernest Rutherford, 0.M., P.R.S., Cavendish Professor of Physics, Cambridge. He gave an informal talk to students at the College, outlining the history of the Cavendish Laboratory, also giving an account of the most important investigations which were being carried out by the workers in his laboratory, and indicating future developments in physical science. This talk was most stimulating and instructive. We were most fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing the most distinguished physicist in the British Empire. Under the auspices of the College he delivered a public lecture at the Town Hall, on " Atoms and their Structure," before a very large audience. The most novel feature of this lecture was a film illustrating the " Brownian movement." An evening reception for Sir Ernest and Lady Rutherford was held in the College library, and was attended by Their Excellencies the Governor-General and Lady Alice Fergusson, together with an assembly of representative citizens. Short addresses were given by His Excellency and by Sir Ernest Rutherford. Dr. Lotsy's Lectures.- By arrangement Dr. Lotsy, of Haarlem University, gave a course of three lectures at the College in April, 1925. The lectures dealt with the view which Dr. Lotsy's name is especially associated, the view that evolution has proceeded in virtue of variation produced by hybridization, not by environmental conditions. The titles of the lectures were as follows : (1) A Review of the Attempts to Explain Evolution ; (2) Modern Attempts to explain the Existence of Variability; (3) The Role of Hybridization in Evolution. These lectures have been published by Canterbury College. The attendance at all the lectures was decidedly good, and the audiences were very attentive. Very considerable interest was aroused among students, and the way to researches of considerable importance has become clear as a result of Dr. Lotsy's visit. University Commission. —For the past fifteen years both the Council and the Professorial Board of this University College have been urging that a Commission should inquire into University institutions and methods in New Zealand. During 1925 a Commission (Sir H. R. Reichel and Mr. F. Tate) visited all University centres in this country, hearing evidence and examining witnesses. The result of the inquiry was a report that completely justified the attitude of this College towards University reform. It is expected that this year there will be brought into Parliament a University Bill to give effect to the decisions of the Commission. Agriculture. —Courses in Agriculture as a subject for the degrees of 8.A., B.Sc., and B.Agr. were offered for the first time since the establishment of the College. Professor Peren, who was appointed to the Buchanan Chair of Agriculture, was assisted in this work by Messrs. R. Waters, Plant Pathologist; D. Miller, Entomologist; and G. H. Cunningham, Mycologist, of the Biological

Laboratory of the Department of Agriculture. Twelve students entered the course, and of these, five who had already taken their first year commenced the study of Agriculture as an advanced subject. Facilities for teaching this subject to a university standard being totally inadequate, the work for the session was confined to. those phases which could best be studied under existing conditions in the hope that better facilities, including a farm, would be available for the following academic year. In January, 1926, a joint committee composed of delegates from Auckland University College and Victoria University College unanimously decided to recommend the two Colleges to combine for the purpose of establishing one strong Agricultural College for the North Island in the Palmerston North - Marton area. To this the Colleges agreed. A joint deputation waited on the Prime Minister and requested financial assistance for the project. The Prime Minister expressed great pleasure at the two Colleges agreeing to sink local differences and combining for the general good. University Hostels. —The Board would again stress the urgent need for the provision of hostels for University students. It feels that not until the majority of students is provided for in such institutions is there any possibility of realizing anything approximating to what is usually called the university spirit. Lack of such hostels means that students are mere scattered units, instead of members of a corporate body, and the cultivation of a proper spirit and ideals is impossible in the comparatively few hours in which the students are in contact with their fellows. Further, many students are at present living under conditions which militate against effective university work, and the provision of hostels would enable these to get the maximum benefit from their course here. Workers' Educational Association. —During the year the work of the Workers' Educational Association was carried on successfully. The statistics show that there were twenty-five classes in this University district, in which 1,124 students were enrolled. Of these, 991 were "effective," and 773 of them attended not less than 50 per cent, of the lectures of the classes of which they were members. Towards the end of the year Mr. W. A. Sheat, 8.A., LL.B., resigned, and Mr. A. C. T. Brotherton, M.A. (Edin.), was appointed in his place. At the same time the method of working this district was altered, Mr. Mander being transferred to the Hawke's Bay-Wairarapa subdistrict, and Mr. Brotherton being given charge of the Taranaki-Palmerston area. Provision has also been made for working the district on the other side of the Strait, and it is expected that in 1926 some classes will be held in all provinces of this wide University district. The reports of the tutors show that good work is being done, but that until more funds are available, so that classes can be reduced in size, the standard which is being attained in many of the tutorial classes in England cannot be expected. Nevertheless useful tutorial work is being done by tutors working with groups or individuals. Sarah Anne Rhodes Fellowship.—The first Fellow was appointed in August, 1925—namely, Miss Eleanor A. Pope, M.Sc., M.A. After spending three years studying in England and America as the holder of a Sarah Anne Rhodes Scholarship Miss Pope returned to New Zealand. The Council has awarded her the Fellowship, and by arrangement with the Health Department and Hospital Boards she is now engaged in touring New Zealand hospitals in order to prepare a report on the culinary and dietary arrangements. Miss Vera B. Reader, M.Sc., who was awarded a Sarah Anne Rhodes Scholarship in 1922, has been studying under Professor Drummond at University College, London. He has spoken in terms of high praise of her research work on " Biochemical Aspects of Metalbolism of Micro-organism." She has now gone to Oxford, where she has been given the use of one of the new Rockefeller laboratories for the prosecution of her research. Miss Miriam Herrick, M.Sc., is still pursuing a course in home science at the University of Otago, where her professors are very satisfied with the work she is doing. Travelling Scholarships.—The following scholarships have been awarded to students of the College : Philosophy—R. F. Fortune, M.A. (awarded free passage). History —J. C. Beaglehole, M.A. (awarded free passage). French—Una Castle, M.A. Law— J. 0. J. Malfroy, LL.M. Bequests.—During the year the College has benefited by a generous bequest by the late Lissie Rathbone, of Hawke's Bay, who bequeathed a capital sum of £3,000, the interest on which is to provide scholarships for the students securing highest marks in the Entrance Scholarship Examination in history and English. Former Students. —Mr. Gordon S. Troup, M.A., holder of a University French Travelling Scholarship for 1924, is attached to the University of Poitiers (France), where he has completed half of the sections for Licence es Lettres. Mr. H. Espiner, M.A., is at work in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, having completed his license at Poitiers. He is bringing out an edition of the sixteenth-century antiquarian Claude Fauche't, and writing a thesis on Fauchet's life and works for presentation to the Sorbonne for the Doctorate. Mr. J. S. Yeates, M.Sc., Ph.D., holder of the University Post-graduate Scholarship in Science, began his work at Trinity College, Cambridge, late in 1925. He was awarded a research scholarship in Science at Cambridge. Very satisfactory reports as to his progress are received. Mr. J. G-. Myers, M.Sc., holder of the 1851 Exhibition Scholarship, is now completing his second year at the Bussey Institute, Harvard University, where he has been working especially at applied Entomology. The New Zealand Agricultural Department arranged for him to visit Europe last year as a delegate to the International Entomological Congress, and the authorities of the Bussey Institute sent him as a member of an entomological expedition to Cuba. Mr. D. Jenness, M.A., has been appointed Chairman of the Department of Ethnology in the Dominion of Canada. Mr. H. L. Richardson, M.Sc., holder of the Imperial College Scholarship, is presenting this year his thesis for the degree of Ph.D.

It is my privilege to place before you the fifty-third annual report of the Chairman of the Board. Although nothing spectacular occurred in connection with the numerous institutions under our control during the year 1925, yet that year has been one of very considerable development. Our finances are in a satisfactory position, but the expenditure we had to meet during the year in connection with new buildings and equipment was very considerable, and during this present year I believe it will be heavier still. It is my earnest desire that the Board will pursue in the future the policy that it has followed for many years past in regard to its financial operations, and continue to set aside portions of its revenue from year to year for additions to buildings, sinking funds, and the like. The effect of this policy has been very marked during the last two or three years, as the Board has been able in consequence to carry out several new projects and improvements without financial embarrassment. In last year's report I referred to the fact that the Government had appointed a Commission to inquire into and report upon University matters. Evidence was taken in the four centres by the Commission, and its report has been before the Senate and the Board. Notwithstanding the report, my personal opinion is still the same —namely, that the establishment of Canterbury College as the University of Canterbury should be our ideal and ultimate aim. In many respects the report is open to serious criticism as it concerns Canterbury, and especially in regard to its recommendation that the School of Forestry should be at Auckland only. This, to my mind, shows a lack of knowledge of what a forestry school teaches and the necessity of its being closely associated with and attached to an efficient and fully equipped school of engineering. It would appear that the Commission considered the only outlet for trained foresters to be the State Forest Service, and if this is correct it has disregarded the demand for trained men from milling companies for logging engineers, from timber-supply depots for experts, from afforestation companies for nursery foremen and plantation experts, from forest-product companies for experts in wood distillery, pulping, and a host of other industries connected with the wood industry. Whilst admitting that the recommendations regarding the evening-lecture system and exempted students may be sound in theory, I cannot but feel that the modern university must cater for all sorts and conditions of men, and therefore I hesitate to put any difficulties or obstacles in the face of " stragglers " who have to earn their own living whilst endeavouring to acquire a higher education. I cannot but remember how many of our leading citizens, especially in the law and medicine, have started behind scratch. Neither can I concur in the conclusions of the Commission as to the constitution of College Councils in regard to special interests being represented. In my opinion this is the very thing that we do not want. Our members should not be delegates, and the experience of American universities does not support this view of the Commission. I quoted to the Commission the opinion of President Eliot, of Harvard University, in his book on university government, and I feel that it will not be out of place to again quote what he says : " The kind of men needed in the governing Board of a university is the highly-educated, public-spirited business or professional man who takes a strong

22

E.—7

interest in educational and social problems, and believes in the higher education as the source of enlightenment and progress for all stages of education and for all the industrial and social interests of the .community. He should also be a man who has been successful in his own calling and commands the confidence of all who know him. The faculty he will most need is good judgment, for he will often be called upon to decide on matters which lie beyond the scope of his own experience, and about which he must, therefore, get his facts through others, and his opinions through a process of comparison and judicious sifting." To my mind, the description given by President Eliot applies very generally to the type of man who has sat upon our Board of Governors for the last twenty years, and here I speak from personal observation —I have no desire to flatter the members, but lam satisfied that any change cannot better the personnel of the Board as it has existed for many years. During the year Mrs. J. P. Gabbatt made a gift of £3,000 to the College to found a scholarship in memory of her father, Sir William Hartley, to enable one of our women graduates to hold a scholarship at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or London, or, in special cases, at any other European university. The Rathbone trustees gave the sum of £3,000 to establish a Lissie Rathbone Entrance Scholarship in English and History. A grant of £100 has been made by the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce to the Board to enable bulletins in connection with financial and other problems to be issued by the Department of Economics. These bulletins have already received very considerable attention from the commercial and financial interests in the community. Certain practising engineers have been added to the Faculty of Engineering, and it is hoped that their experience will be of benefit to the College and the community. The School of Forestry has undertaken an economic timber survey of Canterbury for the State Forest Service. Workers' Educational Association. —This useful association has enabled large numbers of adults to obtain some of the benefits of higher education and culture, and the findings of the University Commission on the Workers' Educational Association were as follows :— "1. Extra mural work should be definitely accepted as an essential part of the normal work of the University. " 2. A special staff should be appointed to conduct such extension work as that for the Workers' Educational Association. The qualifications required should be those prescribed for other University teaching appointments. " 3. The system of appointing a staff to work half time in the University college and half time in the extra-mural classes should be tried. "4. Tutorial classes under the Workers' Educational Association schemes should not be established unless there is a guarantee that the classes can be worked on tutorial lines, essays being regularly written by each member, and members guaranteeing to attend for & continuous course of sufficient duration to enable work of University standard to be accomplished. "5. We strongly urge upon the consideration of the University and the Government the importance of extending the extra-mural activities of the University. It is not overstating the case to predict that in the near future adult education may become the most productive field of national education. Any system which will give opportunities to mature men and women to engage in the continuous and disinterested study of some subject, and thus develop throughout the land a body of clear-thinking students, interested in literary and historic or economic and social subjects, must have far-reaching effects for good on the social, intellectual, and even political life of the community." During the year there were in the Canterbury District 22 classes, 908 enrolled students, 701 effective students, with an average attendance of 509. In the Dominion there were 105 classes with 4,635 enrolled students, 3,676 effective students, and an average attendance of 2,735. Twenty-two classes studied history, 17 economics, 11 psychology, 20 literature and drama, 6 public speaking, 5 health, and others music, botany, logic, biology, &c. When one views the past there has always been one thing that has impressed, one more than anything else, and that is the neglect of our predecessors to acquire, sufficient areas of land for the various institutions under the Board. I have endeavoured to remedy this so far as I have been able whilst I have been Chairman. During the last ten years the area of land under the Board for University purposes has increased from about 2 acres to approximately 8 acres. I am of opinion that immediate steps should be taken to acquire an area of land in the suburbs, not less than 25 acres in extent, and 50 acres if possible, as a site for recreation-grounds and outdoor exercises. The demand in the community for outdoor exercises is increasing year by year, and before land gets too dear the University should acquire a suitable area for the purposes I have mentioned. The same lack of land has occurred in England, and steps are being taken there to overcome the neglect of the past. I believe that £10,000 invested in a suitable area to-day would probably be a vastly more advantageous thing to the College students of the future than several times that amount spent in buildings to-day. The College requires without delay buildings for a Students' Union, but these can be erected at any time when funds are available. A suitable area of land ought to be acquired now or in the near future. I have at different times summarized what I believed to be the direction of the Board's policy in the past, and the greater part of the policy proposed has been carried out. I now urge the Board to consider the question of acquiring land to enable the body of the student to be developed and improved as well as his mind.

Registrar.—H. Chapman, Esq., B.A. REPORT (ABRIDGED) OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. In accordance with the provisions of the University of Otago Ordinance, 1869, I have the honour to forward herewith a report on the proceedings of the University of Otago for the vear ended 31st December, 1925. University Council. —I regret it is necessary to open my report by referring to the death of our former Chancellor, the Reverend Dr. Cameron, who died on the 19th May, 1925. Dr. Cameron graduated B.A. from our University in 1880, and subsequently continued his studies in the University of Edinburgh and in Germany. In 1894 he was elected a member of the University Council as representative of the graduates ; in 1910 he was appointed Vice-Chancellor, and from 1912 to the time of his death he held the office of Chancellor. It is impossible to exaggerate the value of Dr. Cameron's services to the University during this long period, or to express in words the respect and affection with which he was regarded by the Councillors, professors, and students. The Council hopes to erect a worthy monument to his memory. To fill the vacancy thus created the Council did me the honour of appointing me Chancellor, whilst Mr. W. J. Morrell, M.A., was appointed Vice-Chancellor. The vacancy on the Council was filled by the election of Mr. C. M. Gilray, M.A., a former Rhodes scholar, as representative of the graduates. During the year the Council has received some generous benefactions. I desire specially to mention the following : £3,000 for scholarships from the trustees of the late Lissie Rathbone ; £2,000 for scholarships from the Invercargill Savings-bank ; £1,000 for cancer research from Mrs. M. Judith Massey and her daughter ; £750 for dental equipment from the Dunedin Savings-bank ; £700 for scholarships from Miss L. E. Fowler. It is most gratifying to the Council to note that the activities of the University are being recognized in this practical manner. New Buildings. —In the Chancellor's report for the year 1924 reference was made to the erection of the new Medical and Dental Schools. Although building operations have been continued through the year, progress has been much slower than was anticipated. The Dental School should, however, be ready by the middle of 1926, and the new Medical School building for the commencement of classes in 1927. T. K. Sidey, Chancellor.

Calder, B.Ag., B.Sc. REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR, I have the honour, by direction of the Board of Governors, in pursuance of the Canterbury College and Canterbury Agricultural College Act, 1898, to submit the following report of the work of the institution for the year ending 31st December, 1925 : Fifty-two students were enrolled in 1925, the number in residence being up to the limit of accommodation. Of those enrolled six were holders of bursaries under the Education Department. Twelve students sat for various subjects set by the New Zealand University for the Bachelor of Agriculture degree or the certificate in Agriculture. Three students completed their degree course at the College, and should obtain their degree, and this brings the total number who have obtained the degree from the College to about twenty-five. Nineteen students left at the end of the year, of whom one had completed one year of instruction, three two years, and the remaining fifteen the whole course ; of these fifteen all satisfied the examiners and were awarded the diploma of the College. Applications for entrance to the College are still somewhat in excess of the accommodation provided, indicating that there is a strong demand for higher agricultural education. During the year two Commissions on higher agricultural education visited the College, and took -evidence from members of the Board and staff. The first consisted of the members of the Board of Agriculture, and the second of Sir Harry Reichel and Mr. Frank Tate. The claims of the College to financial assistance to enable it to extend its laboratories, teaching equipment, and experimental work were reiterated, and it was shown that the continued neglect of these claims was having a grave effect on the higher agricultural education of the Dominion. The plant-breeding work under the supervision of Dr. Hilgendorf and subsidized by the Government is still being carried on and extended. During the year we were able to place on the market new strains of Dun and Danish oats, and these, though not so widely used as the College strain of Algerians, have already won the appreciation of farmers. The arrangements for supplying all demands for seed of our pure strains of wheat and oats were successfully carried out, and we attained our aim of unrestricted and economical distribution of the seed whose production had caused so much effort. The work of selection of grasses has been proceeded with in the hope of ultimately securing financial assistance to bring it to fruition, and representations as to the importance of this work were made to the Board of Agriculture when it visited the College. Mr. Scott, Lecturer on Chemistry, has repeated and increased his field manurial experiments. These promise to be most interesting and valuable, and all experimental work has an important influence on the teaching of the College and instruction of the students. The College and farm buildings have been kept in a good state of repair ; all possible improvements and additions have been made during the year. As has been repeatedly pointed out, new laboratories and farm buildings are urgently needed. The farm and its surroundings have been properly cared for, and the high fertility maintained. The College yields still maintain an average of 50 per cent, above those of the rest of the Dominion. The live-stock have also been maintained at a high level. College sheep sent to the Royal Show at Palmerston North obtaining twenty-one prizes, including three championships and two reserve championships. The usual visits, organized and occasional, of farmers to the College have been maintained, as has also the instructional correspondence, and the lectures by members of the staff to meetings of farmers in various districts of Canterbury. As in former years, we are indebted to a number of friends who have presented us with trophies for special prizes, which are appreciated both by staff and students. We are also indebted to those friends who have allowed our students to visit and inspect their works, manufactories, grounds, or stock.
