In compliance with the 28th clause of " The University Act, 1874," the Senate makes the following report to His Excellency the Governor of the proceedings of the University since the date of the last report. 1. The Senate met on the Ist March at Auckland, which time and place were fixed at the last annual meeting of the Senate, as prescribed by the University Act. 2. The Senate has made certain amendments in its statutes and regulations at present in force. The statutes passed with a view to giving effect to these amendments are herewith submitted for the approval of the Governor. 3. The Bowen Prize for the year 1881 has been awarded to Joseph Penfound Grossmann, and Edith Howitt Searle has been recorded as proxime accessit; both being undergraduates of the University and students of the Canterbury College. 4. The reports of the examiners in England not having been received in detail the Senate has not yet been able to confer the degrees and scholarships gained during the past year ; but, from a telegraphic communication received from the examiners, it appears that the following numbers will be added to the roll of the University at a special meeting to be held for the purpose on the receipt of the reports referred to: To the degree of Master of Arts, eleven Bachelors of Arts ;to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, thirteen undergraduates ; to the degree of Bachelor of Laws, one Master of Arts. Five undergraduates gained Senior Scholarships at the examination of November, 1881; eight candidates gained Junior Scholarships at the examination of December, 1881. The number of graduates after examination on the roll of the University, with the above additions, will be as follows: Master of Arts, 18; Bachelors of Arts of two years' standing, 11; Bachelors of Arts of less than two years' standing, 20 : total 49, of whom three are also Bachelors of Laws. The number of undergraduates at present on the roll of the University is 282, of whom forty-four matriculated at the examination of December, 1881. 5. The Senate has again had under its consideration the necessity of making better provision for University education in the North Island of New Zealand. "While still of the opinion that two Colleges are required for the North Island, at Wellington and Auckland, the Senate has, with the view of recommending immediate action, passed the following resolution : " That a respectful address be presented to the Minister of Education setting forth that, in the opinion of this Senate, there is urgent necessity for the establishment in Auckland of a College able to provide a proper University course of instruction ; and whereas the sum of £1,500 was last year voted by Parliament for the purpose, it is desirable that steps should be taken for the immediate appointment of at least two Professors." 6. A statement of the income and expenditure for the twelve months ending the 31st December, 1881, audited as prescribed by your Excellency, is hereto appended. Heney John Tancbed, 16th March, 1882.
