COUNTRY STUDENTS
ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES NOT ESSENTIAL SENATE’S DECISION Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. At its meeting today, the University Senate resolved that there was no need in New Zealand for two forestry schools, and the Academic Board was instructed to prepare a report as to tho best means of overcoming the duplication. The question whether there should be any differentiation between students who attend university lectures and those who, by reason of residence in country districts, are debarred from doing so, was discussed by the senate, which decided that under the present conditions there should be no alteration in the regulations in regard to the examination of students. The Academic Board recommended that students who did not attend lectures should not be qualified to proceed to university degrees. The general opinion was expressed by members of the senate that this would be too radical a move under the existing conditions. It was pointed out that universities were not residential, and if the Academic Board’s proposal were carried out there were many students in country districts forced to earn their liying who would be debarred from the advantages of a university education. The Academic Board’s recommendation was negatived on the voices.
