Though the total as shown in this table is slightly less than that of the preceding year, it is quite satisfactory as showing that there is evidence of continued work and activity in every department of University study. The detailed results are set forth below : — Doctor of Medicine : Mcßride, Leonard Hugh, University of Otago : Watt, Michael Herbert, University of Otago. Master of Arts with Honours : Adams, H. S., second class in mental science ; Curzon-Siggers, W. A., first class in languages and literature (Latin and Greek) ; Horton, Dorothy E., second class in languages and literature (English and French) ; Kennedy, Jemima, third class in language and literature (Latin and English) ; Loudon, Agnes L., second class in languages and literature (English and French) ; Marwick, J., first class in natural science (geology) ; Miles, F. F., first class in languages and literature (English an/I French), also first class in mathematics and mathematical physics ; Mills, Mary M., third class in languages and literature (Latin arid German) ; Parr, C, first class in mental science ; Uttley, W. M., second class in mental science ; Wright, W., third class in mental science. Master of Science with Honours : Alexander, W. A., first class in natural science (geology), also second class in physical science (heat) ; Colquhoun, J. A., third class in physical science (electricity) ; Hercus, E. 0., first class in mathematics and mathematical physics, also second class in physical science (electricity); Robertson, G. H., second class in chemistry (physical); Stuart, W. A., second class in physical science (heat), also second class in physical science (electricity). Senior Scholars : Thompson, James —in French ; Wilkinson, Frank Howitt—in mental science. John Tinline Scholar : Adamson, Frank Forrester. Rhodes Scholar : Miles, Frederick Fisher. Bachelors of Arts : Adamson, Frank Forrester ; Borrie, Agnes ; Connell, Richard Patrick ; Copland, Catherine ; Cullen, Patrick Francis ; Dempster, Norman Harrison ; Fyfe, Laura Henderson ; Learmonth, Ivy Annie ; MacDiarmid, Donald Neil; Mawson, Joseph Bibby ; Miller, Mabel Isabel; Miller, Ronald ; McCarthy, Claude ; McKenzie, William Henry Purvis ; McLaughlin, Daniel; Ongley, Patrick Augustine ; Partridge, Ernest ; Skinner, Henry Devenish ; Smith, Cecil McLean ; Thompson, James ; Vickery, Elsie Elizabeth Alice ; Watt, Mary Shand ; Wilkinson, Frank Howitt.

Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) : McDouall, Phillip Hastings. Winners of Otago University scholarships and prizes : McGregor Prize—Connell, Richard Patrick. Beverly Entrance Scholarship —Fraser, Hugh Ross. Beverly Scholarship in Advanced Physics— Stuart, William Alexander. Sir George Grey Scholarship—Bastings. Lyndon. Beverly Scholarship for Junior Physics —Cody, Walter Thomas. James Clark Prizes—Latin, Curzon-Siggers, William Arthur; English, Miles, Frederick Fisher; mental science, Fleming. James John William. Ulrich Memorial Prize—Marwick. John. There are few special features in this list, though reference must be made to F. F. Miles, who gained double first-class honours in mathematics and English and French. It is also satisfactory to record that the Rhodes Scholarship for 1912 was won by this graduate. This is the fourth time that the Rhodes Scholarship has been gained by an Otago student. Another feature is the small number of senior scholars this year —the lowest for many years—and it will therefore be reasonable to expect a small honours list next year. Buildings : It is with satisfaction that the Board notes that the new class-rooms are now almost completed, and that they will be ready for occupation during this session. The use of these class-rooms will allow of all the classes being held in the University, buildings, and will tend to further unite the different departments of University work. Discipline : The behaviour and conduct of the students throughout the year was extremely satisfactory, and I have great pleasure in acknowledging the sympathetic co-operation of the executive of the Students' Association in all those matters where the interests of the students were at stake. During the session the Chief Inspector of Schools consulted with the Board in regard to the most pressing needs of the University. Many of the matters that were suggested are now set forth in the report of the Inspector, which was presented to Parliament, and the Board hopes that it may be possible to give effect to the recommendations contained in this report. I have, &c, P. Marshall, Chairman of the Professorial Board. The Medical School. —Report of the Acting-Dean (Dr. J. Malcolm). The number of students in the Medical School during 1912 was 121. The numbers entering continued to increase, and now average nearly 30 a year in the first three years. Eight candidates passed the final examination for the degree of M.8., Ch.B., in January, 1913,. and 2in the previous July, making a total of 10 for the year. Nearly all the larger hospitals in the Dominion ate officered by these and the men of the previous year.
