J. C. Westall, T. W. Beare, and I). Bates passed the second section of the LL.B. examination. Messrs. C. E. Adams, B. S. Bull, H. L. Kidd, and P. Marshall passed the final B.Sc. examination, and had the degree conferred upon them. P. Marshall gained the senior scholarship in natural science, and H. B. Watson that in Latin and Greek ; whilst C. E. Adams was equal with another in gaining that in physical science, and E. E. Hardcastle was equal with another in gaming that in mathematics. The John Tinline Scholarship, for excellence in English language and literature, was gained by Miss A. C. Tendall, of this College. The College exhibitions, given for excellence in honours work at the College annual examination, were awarded as follows : For Latin, W. S. Marris ; for English, Miss Florence Sheard ; for mathematics, E. Eutherford (W. S. Marris being first, but took that in Latin); for experimental science, E. S. Buchanan; for political science, A. J. Buchanan and Miss S. M. Henderson (equal) ; for natural science, H. L. Kidd. The graduates of the University of New Zealand who have been educated at the College now number 130, fifty-five of whom have obtained the degree of M.A., seventy-four the degree of 8.A., two that of LL.B., and one that of B.Sc. Six arts graduates have also obtained the degree of LL.B., four that of B.Sc, and one that of LL.D. Of the Masters of Arts, two gained double firstclass honours, one a double first-class and a second, one a first-class and a second, one a first-class in arts and a second-class in science, twenty-eight first-class honours, two double second, ten second, and eleven third-class. Thus, out of 312 who have taken degrees in the University of New Zealand, 131 belong to Canterbury College ; out of the 117 who have taken the M.A., fifty-five belong to it; and of fifty-three who have taken first-class honours, thirty-four belong to it. Of the eighty-eight senior and third year and John Tinline Scholarships awarded by the University of New Zealand during the last fifteen years —the period during which the present scholarship regulations have been in force—fifty-five have been awarded to the students of Canterbury College. Of the seventeen Bowen Prizes which have been awarded by the University for an essay on a subject connected with English history, and open to all undergraduates of the University of New Zealand, eleven have.been gained by students trained in this College, whilst the only three mentioned as proxime accessit have also been of this College. The Professor of English Language and Literature, Professor Brown, after many years of constant work, has been granted leave of absence for the second term of the year, to enable him to proceed to England to seek medical advice. The Board has arranged for the work of the chair to be carried on by Mr. 0. T. J. Alpers, M.A. It has been determined to give an annual exhibition of the value of £20 for proficiency in French or German. There are now seven annual exhibitions, each of the above value, granted by the College in the various subjects taught. In the School of Engineering, two exhibitions of a similar value, tenable for two years, are offered for competition annually. Music. —Sixty-five students have joined the various classes this term. Of these, thirty-three attended the lectures last year, and have all passed successfully the junior examination in music. Twenty-eight new students have joined the junior classes. Considering the importance of the subjects treated in the senior class—namely, harmony, counterpoint, and the history of music, the number of hours at present devoted to the study of music in this class is not sufficient to enable a student to obtain a thorough knowledge of the subjects in question after one year's work. It will probably be found desirable to increase the time devoted to the course to two years, by the end of which period diligent students ought to be able to obtain a high proficiency. School op Engineeeing and Technical. Science. The number of students attending the classes during the last term was fifty-five. The number of matriculated students taking up the whole course is eight, as against five during the past year.
