UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE.
EFFECT OF LENIENT MARKING. SAFEGUARDS ADVOCATED. AUCKLAND, February IG. The Wellington Recess Committee of the University Council, reporting regarding the December entrance examinations, said: “The Committee feels it is its duty to report to the council the possible effect of the application of the new system of lenient marking in any one subject. There is clear evidence that high marks awarded in one subject in the last examination have contributed materially toward the increased percentage of passes. Some safeguard appears to be necessary. ’ ’ The clause was referred to a special committee. A summary of accounts for 1926 presented by the Wellington Committee showed:—Receipts, £35,346 16s sd; and payments, £32,985 17s 8d; leaving a surplus of £2346 8s 9d. The assets at the end of the year were: General Account £40,913 19s. The statement was referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. F. Milner was appointed to represent the council on the New Zealand Central Executive of the International Student Service during the absence of Dr. J. Hight from New Zealand.— (P.A.)
