Table M. —Degrees conferred by the New Zealand University at the Beginning of 1914.

Out of 2,318 students on the books of the University colleges there were thus 131 who rose from the status of undergraduates to that of graduates, and 52 from that of Bachelor to Master of Arts, Laws, or Science, making a total of 183 —a percentage of 7-9, as against 8-1 for 1912. Affiliated Colleges. Reference to Table Mα will show that there were 2,218 students actually in attendance at the four University colleges, an increase of 104 over the number for the previous year. Of these, 104 were graduates, 1,316 were undergraduates, and 798 were unmatriculated students. In addition to the matriculated students mentioned above, there were 100 students attached to the various University colleges, but exempt from lectures—that is, they were prevented by distance or by the necessity of earning their living from attending lectures at the college, but were allowed to keep terms, except in certain science and professional subjects, by passing the annual college examination.
