No. 10. The Eegistrar to the Hon. the Ministeb of Education. Sib, — University of New Zealand, Christchurch, 17th May, 1881. I have the honour, by direction of the Chancellor, to forward to you the following resolution, passed at the last session of the Senate: — " That, in the event of a Bill for the redistribution of seats being brought before Parliament next session, the Chancellor be requested to call the attention of the Government to the claims of the University to a member." The Chancellor understands that a Bill such as is herein mentioned is to be introduced this year, and directs me therefore to call the attention of Government to this matter. In a letter dated the 7th May, 1880, the Chancellor put before you the main reasons for granting representation to the University, namely, that such representation is given elsewhere, and that the member for the University would probably represent a constituency able probably to take the most intelligent view of public affairs, this constituency increasing year by year. I am to state also that the graduates of this University number at the present time 129, viz., 36 after examination and 93 admitted ad eundem gradum. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister of Education, W. M. Maskell, Wellington. Eegistrar.
