Their representatives at this College had completed their second year's course there with credit. The examination work this year had been distributed amongst the staff, so that no man examined his own form except in divinity and science, where it was unavoidable. The results were satisfactory considering the circumstances, but have further served to emphasize the fact that more forms and more teachers are required, especially in the lower part of the school. The work of the lower school was very satisfactory in the upper part of each form, but owing to the number of divisions necessary it was difficult to secure 1 uniform results. He desired to acknowledge the great debt owed to the Very Reverend the Sub-Warden, and to Canon Carrington, for their assistance in carrying on the chapel services on Sundays, and to express to the whole id' the staff his gratitude for the ready and loyal assistance given during the year. 2.
