Number of Successful Candidates at the Examinations for Degrees in 1922.

In addition to these successes, 2,731 candidates passed sections of the examinations for degrees or for admission to professions ; 97 gained certificates of proficiency. There were 156 candidates for the Entrance Scholarship Examination, 35 gaining scholarships, 70 others pass'ng the examination with credit, and 34 qualifying for matriculation. The number of candidates for the Matriculation Examination was 4,143, of whom 1,052 passed the whole examination, 516 completed partial passes, and 723 gained partial passes. The method of appointing examiners in New Zealand for the pass grade of the B.A. and B.Sc. degree examinations was inaugurated in 1922, most of the examiners giving satisfaction both in the setting and marking of the examinationpapers. A great benefit to candidates was the much earlier notification of results than is possible when the papers are sent to England for marking.
