N.Z. UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.
By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH July 3. After he had been awarded the Nobel Prize, the Canterbury College Graduates' Association forwaried a resolution to Professor Ernest Rutherford, congratulating him on the distinction he had gained. Professor Rutherford has acknowledged the resolution in a very interesting letter. "I always look back with pleasure," he writes, "to the happy if somewhat strenuous days I spent at Canterbury College. I think my old college can well claim a fair share qf whatever credit is due to the winning of a Nobel Prize, for it was there that I received my first instruction in science and mathe*matics, and it was there I started my first researches. My experiences of numerous universities have led me to the conclusion that New Zealanders may look with pride on the excellent university teaching that is afforded them in the various colleges of the New Zealand University."
