THEOLOGICAL DEGREES
GRANT BY UNIVERSITY? REQUEST TO MINISTER [ Per Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 6. The University Senate decided to approach the Minister of Education, Hon. P. Fraser, for power to confer degrees in theology. A suggestion was made that the churches organise a board of studies and secure a Parliamentary charter enabling the board to confer degrees not acceptable to any of the churches concerned. A memeorandum submitted by church representatives proposed that degrees should be available only to those who were already undergraduates of the University of New Zealand or some other approved university. The Senate agreed to recognise Dr. V. E. Galway, of Dunedin, who is to be appointed to the chair of music at Otago University, as a professor of the University of New Zealand.
