This scholarship is a research one of the annual value of £2OO and is tenable at the college, the scholar being required to undertake original research work. The scholarship arising from a bequest by the late Air Wm. Reed, of Palmerston North, open to ex-pupils of the Palmerston North Boys’ High School, has been awarded Air L.

The board also acknowledged assistance by all who made donations or lent implements and machines for demonstration purposes in the machinery hall. It was reported by Professor Peren that, now that the machinery hall was completed, it was- hoped to arrange with various firms for the loan ot new models of implements and machines for a limited period so that they could be placed on display in the hall and demonstrations given on them. By this means it is hoped to keep students in close touch with improvements in farm machinery. The enrolments for the term number 98 compared with 92 last year. The shorter courses do not commence until the second term.
