In reference to Mr Quinnell's application to inaugurate classes in veterinary science, it was resolved that the Managers will, if sufficient support is forthcoming, arrange for the conduct of a course of lectures in veterinary science when drafting the programme for next, year's classes.

The matter of running a course of wool classes at Te Wharau next season was also discussed, and it was ultimately decided that if the residents of that district will guarantee a sum sufficient to cover the cost of the instructor's salary and travelling expenses, the Managers will make arrangement for their instructor to make periodical visits to Te Wharau.

Accounts, amounting to 18s, were passed for payment. The New Zealand University and the Education Department were granted the use of the class-rooms for examination purposes at the usual rates.

It was decided, in connection with these examinations, that the supervisors be requested on no account to allow candidates to enter the building an inordinate time before their examination commences.
