PAPERS RELATIVE TO THE ESTABLISHMENT

16

The Governor not having been advised, in accordance with the Act, to determine the site of the University, it was very difficult for the Council to devise such arrangements for the tenure of scholarships as should have enabled it to carry out, in the most advantageous manner, the objects contemplated; as it is very possible that had the site been fixed the Council would, after being informed of the state of the law, have ordered that these scholarships should only be tenable in the University. Practically, the omission to fix the site has prevented the Council from establishing scholarships at all. I have, Ac, Henet John Tancred, The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Chancellor. Wellington.
