Mining Students on Active Service. —Of the undergraduates of 1914 no less than fourteen, or 47 per cent, of the whole, are now on active war service. Of these, nine went to Egypt with the Main Expeditionary Force, four with the Third Reinforcements, and one with the Fifth. In addition to these, seven graduates have joined various branches of the Forces and are now on active service.* Of the fourteen undergraduates who have joined the Imperial Forces, nine who left in August Were granted passes that count for terms without examination. The other five sat for the term examinations in October before leaving. The holders of Government and University scholarships on active service have been informed that their scholarships will be held over till their return from the War, and the Chancellor of the New Zealand University has given an assurance to students reading for the B.Se. degree that they will not be penalized in their examinations through absence with the Imperial Forces.
