UNIVERSITY SENATE.

(Per Press Association.) Auckland, January 24. The University Senate resolved by 14 votes to 7 that the report on the work of each student sitting for a degree of arts or science be furnished by the professor through the registrar to the university agent for communication to the meeting oi examiners at Home. Mr Hogben moved that the degree of Bachelor of Arts be amended hy inserting, after the words already passed, the words provided, further, that the candidate may, in the final examination, in lieu of fifth and sixtu Subjects, repeat any two subjects in which he has already passed. Professor Marshall seconded, and explained that it was one subject on which the professorial conference was unanimous. Mr Hogben said that if the proposal was adopted it would enable the stu-i dent to carry to a higher standard his studies in subjects which he took up; at present Statute provided that a candidate might repeat in his final examination one of the subjects in which he had already passed. The motion was lost by ten votes to twelve.
