EXAMINATIONS.

NEW ZEALAND UNIVERSITY. GETTING OUT THE MARKS. (PBOM oca OWN CORRESPONDENT.). LONDON, January 28. A visit paid to the London office of the University of New Zealand this week revealed that a great effort was being made to get the results of. tiie degree /examinations in Art, Science, Law, Engineering, and Music out to candidates at th-3 earliest possible date. 'The main consignment of the candidates' scripts was not delivered at the office in Gower street auntil January 6th. With the assistance of Mr J. T. Campbell, a postgraduate scholar from Otago, the Agent (Dr. .A. J. Harrop) was able to distribute the scripts within a few hours. Forty-six parcels were sent to twenty-savdii different examiners. The examiners were asked •to cooperate in the work of getting the results out early. A letter drawn up in August after consultation with the Vice-Chancellor. Professor T. A. Hunter, and Dr. J. Hight (Rector of Canterbury College) during their recent visit, was sent to each examiner, it pointed out. the inconvenience caused to candidates by lack of knowledge of their results, and asked that all mark sheets should be returned within three weeks. This appeal has produced such good results that already nearly all tiie mark sheets have been returned, and it is possible that tho cable giving the great majority of the results will go forward next week. , As each mark sheet comes in it is checked twice and the result incorporated in a smnmerv prepared-in Wellington, which shows the subjects each candidate is sitting for. Mr C. A, Martin, Mus. Mac. (Dunedin), is assisting Dr. Harrop in this part of the work. The fiiLeen-day engineering drawing papers have only just arrived in England and it will naturally be some time before tho professors concerned are able to give these results.
