OTAGO UNIVERSITY.

Per Press Association. Uunedin. June 3. Dr Shand, treasurer to Otago University, submitted a statement of finances to the University Council at to-day's meeting. The statement showed that the income was £46 13s 9d less than last yeal'. There was a decrease in fees both in mining and medical schools, and the treasurer stated . that decrease in fees in the mining school ; was to be anticipated as the school could not be expected to flourish so long as it was living under the threat of impending extinction. The net deficit for the current : year was estimated at £IBO. The Christian Students Union applied to the Council for a small site on which to erect a building for the use of students at a cost of £2OO, which it was proposed' to vest in the Council subject to the same beitf£ controlled by Christain Union stftdents. Consideration of the request was postponed so that further information might be given, meanwhile the Council expressed its sympathy with the movement.
