UNIVERSITY METHODS
STUDENTS’ PRESIDENT TO STATE A CASE CONDUCT OF EXAMINATIONS Special to THE SUN WELLINGTON, Today. Blaming the University of New Zealand for unbusinesslike conduct of examinations and the creation of irritating conditions against which the student had to contend, Mr. J. N. Wilson, president of the Auckland University Students’ Association, delivered a critical speech at the presentation of degrees to this year’s graduates of the college. Mr. Wilson is now being invited to state a case to the Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor T. A. Hunter, who has written to him inquiring the circumstances to which he takes exception. The complaints of irritating condi tions are new to the university officials, for no such allegations have ever been made before. Criticism of the buildings in which examinations are held has been frequent, but the critics fail to appreciate the magnitude of the university’s task in conducting an examination, and the fact that all manner of buildings have to be used because ot the size of the undertaking. In commerce alone-—a very small proportion of the total—last year 600 students were examined.
