UNIVERSITY SENATE. *

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

Wellington, Last Night. The University Senate resumed to-day. The finance committee's recommendation that the suggestion in the Chancellor's report, that trust funds be invested with the Public Trustee, should be referred to the investment committee for inquiry and with power to act, was agreed to." The finance committee reported that the statute scholarships provides for the payment to junior university scholars by the Senate of £2O per annum, in addition to the amount of tuition fees, and the Senate is therefore liable for the payment of the tuition fees. Junior university scholars are at present allowed to enter the professional schools, in which case their tuition fees may amount to a much larger sum than for those taking the aits or science course. The committee recommended that the statute scholarships he amended by at the end thereof, "the number of classes taken by hun shall be limited at the discretion of the professorial board of such college." This would make the conditions the same as for senior national! scholars. —The recommendation was adopted.

With reference to tie law committee's recommendation that two scholarships be established, one for Roman law and the other for contracts and torts, it was resolved that one scholarship be offered annually as at present, but that it be awarded for Eoman law and contracts and torts in 1912. Subjects for future years will be decided at next annual meeting of the Senate. The report of the finance committee stated that the haknee-sheet of the general account showed a surplus of receipts over expenditure of £470 17s lid. On the_ receipt side appeared the sum of £75 4s, being a refund from ordinary scholarship account, and in the expenditure appeared £SOO transferred to ordinary account, as recommended by the finance committee last year. If these items were considered the surplus of receipts over expenditure would amount to £BOS 13s lid. The corrected surplus of the preceding year amounted to £402 lis Bd. There was an increase in receipts over the preceding year of £928 5s 4d, and an increase in expenditure of £748 15s Id, The increase was very largely due to the large amount of £1337 14s for examination fees. The large increase in matriculation fees (£BB4 7s) was probably due to the raising of the standard of matriculation examination. The balance of the ordinary scholarship account at the end of the year was £25,439 18s 7d, beinsr an increase of £1149 14s 7d.

With regard to the various special | scholarship accounts, the estimates for the year ending December 31, 1912, placed general receipts at £10.050 and ("rpetuHturn at £10,030, givin? a surplus of £2O. The estimated receipts for the scholarship account were stated at

£2750 and expenditure at £2530, an estimated surplus of £220..

On the recommendation o! the finance committee it was decided to- increase the salary of tlic assistant registrar to £3OO per year. To make examiners' fees more uniform it was decided to make the payments of examiners in New Zealand for law, commerce and other November subjects the same as for junior scholarships. A letter was received from the Educa- | tion Department enclosing a dispatch 1 from the Admiralty regarding the conditions of admission of medical officers to the navy. The letter was received and ordered'to be printed in the calendar. The Senate meets in the morning to pass the statutes, which were read a first time yesterday, when the report was received from the statutes committee.

A special meeting of the Senate to transact special business will be held in Wellington a fortnight after the reports of the Home examiners are received.

The next N general meeting of the Senate will be held in Auckland on January 18, 1913. .
