The committee further' recommended that the first clause of the statute "Preliminary Examination of Medical Students be repeale'd, and that the following be inserted in place <Sf it-.—"Candi-dates for the Preliminary Medical Examination miust pass the matriculation examination, and must include therein the iollowing subjects:-l. English; , 2;- Latiff; 3 mathematics; ■ i. one of the following subjects :-(a) Greek, (b) a modern language:

Dr. Scott explained that the reason for the recommendation was that last year the Senate had added another subject for matriculation,' but none had been added in the medical preliminary statutes'. The result had been that students claimed to be matriculated through the medical p'relnniiiiiry, examination, who would have been refused matriculation in arts. This was not-what-the Senate had intended in making the chanse. The recommendation was adopted. In accordance with the committee's suegestion, tho Senate refused to grant the petition of some thirty member's of the i\ew /calami Dental Association that all persons holding the Board of Examinerscertificate who are on the New Zealand renter be permitted to sit for the final •ts.-U.b. examination, sine. curriculo.
