REPORT OF THE SENATE. In compliance with section 22 of the New Zealand University Amendment Act, 1926, the Senate makes the following report to the Hon. the Minister of Education of the proceedings of the University since the date of the last report. The Entrance Board met on the 25th August, 1931 ; its recommendation of certain amendments in the prescriptions of subjects in the Entrance examinations were duly referred to the Academic Board. The Academic Board met on the 4th and sth November, 1931. It proposed for consideration by the Senate the conditions for the granting of an aegrotat pass in the examinations of the following courses : Arts, science, home science, agricultural science, and forestry science. These were subsequently approved by the Senate, and regulations are incorporated in the statutes. In accordance with other recommendations of the Academic Board, the Senate, at its annual meeting on the 13th-15th January, 1932, enacted new statutes establishing (1) a Senior Scholarship in Architecture, (2) the Emily Johnston Scholarships for Research in the Science and Art of Clinical Medicine : these to be provided by the income from a bequest of £10,000 by the late Miss Emily L. Johnston, and (3) the Schlich Memorial Prize in Forestry. The course for the B.Agr.Sc. degree was considerably amended in accordance with joint recommendations from the Schools of Agriculture, which had been approved by the Academic Board. At its annual meeting the Senate conferred the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science upon Leonard Cockayne in recognition of his notable contributions to the science of botany. The University was represented at the Conference of the Universities of the British Empire (held in July, 1931, at Edinburgh) by the Vice-Chancellor (Professor T. A. Hunter) and Dr. James Hight. In view of the fact that as a measure of economy the Government has not paid the statutory grants for 1930-31, the Senate authorized the Executive Committee to grant certain post-graduate scholarships only if funds permitted.

REPORT. In pursuance of the provisions of the Auckland University College Act, 1882, the Council has the honour to make the following report for the year 1931 : — Council. —The vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. J. F. Hosking was filled by the election of Mr. H. Horton by the members of the General Assembly resident in the Provincial District of Auckland. The Professorial Board was represented by Professor Anderson and Professor Walker. Staff.— Owing to the Government decision to place the Dominion School of Forestry at Christchurch,' the Council has lost the services of Professor Corbin, who had carried out the duties of the Chair of Forestry since the inception of the School in 1925. Professor Algie, Professor of Law, and Professor Paterson, Professor of Classics, were absent during the year on Sabbatical leave. An honour to a me'mber of the staff was the appointment of Mr. T. L. Lancaster, acting-head of the Botany and Biology Department, as a Fellow of the Linnean Society. Students. —For the fourth year in succession the College gained a Rhodes Scholarship, this being awarded to Mr. J. M. Bertram." He will specialize in English and modern languages at Oxford. It is with great regret that we report of the death of a promising young law student, Mr. J. W. Stanton, who was lost during an expedition on Mount Ruapehu. Workers' Educational Association.—During 1931 there were nine classes in the city with a membership of 965, and three half-courses with a membership of sixty. The Box scheme has grown to twenty-nine groups, and is proving of great assistance to the country members. A full-time class has been organized in the Waikato with twenty members, and five shorter courses with one hundred members. The grand total of membership of classes is 1,755. In the city there were four lunch-time groups at factories and thirty-four public lectures. Arrangements were made for the broadcasting of twelve lectures, and two listening-in groups were formed in connection with this. Workers' Educational Association Bursars.—Mr. A. C. Marshall has completed his B.Arch. degree, his thesis being on the " Theory of Architectural Design." Another bursar, Mr. J. 0. Shearer, has returned from a year's work in Cambridge under a Laura Spelman Scholarship. On his return he was appointed tutor-organizer in the Waikato. As in all other educational movements the Association is very much hampered in its extension by lack of finance.

REPORT (ABRIDGED). Pursuant to section 44 of the Victoria College Act, 1905, the Council presents the following report for the year 1931 : — The Work of the College : The Staff. —We regret to have to record the death of Dr. F. G. Maskell while on leave in England in January last. The late Dr. Maskell was a distinguished biologist, and a kindly, courteous gentleman whose death is keenly felt by staff and students alike. During Dr. Maskell's absence Miss Averil Lysaght, M.Sc., was appointed as temporary Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Biology, and arrangements have been made for her to continue as such until a permanent appointment is made. During part of the year Professor Hunter and Professor Sommerville were absent in England, the former to represent the University of New Zealand at a Conference of the Universities of the British Empire, "and the latter to attend the Centenary Meeting of the British Association, and the Faraday and Clerk Maxwell celebrations in London and Cambridge. During the absence of Professor Hunter the work of the Philosophy Department was carried on under the direction of Dr. Sutherland. Mr. F. F. Miles, M.A., with the assistance of Mr. D. McLeod, M.A., carried on the work of the Mathematics Department during the absence of Professor Sommerville. New Scholarships.—By the will of the late Emily Lilias Johnston the sum of £2,000 was bequeathed to the College for the purpose of providing Scholarships to be shared equally by male and female students. The Professorial Board has drawn up regulations for such Scholarships, and these have been approved by the Council. It will, however, be some time before the estate is realized and the money paid over. Until this is done no Scholarships will be awarded. Weir Hostel. —In our last report mention was made of the fact that on account of the withdrawal of the Government subsidy negotiations were proceeding with the contractors for a reduced building. These negotiations were completed, and a new contract was entered into for only one building in place of the two originally planned, though unfortunately several thousand pounds had already been spent on the building now abandoned. The building is now approaching completion, and will be ready for the reception of students for the 1933 session. We cannot but fear that the proposed closing of the training college will seriously affect the successful conduct of this institution.

EXTRACT FROM THE ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. I have pleasure in presenting the fifty-ninth report (as at 31st December, 1931) of the Chairman of the Board. I regret to report that the low prices for our primary products, to which I referred in last year's report, have continued during the year, accentuating the difficulties under which our tenants are working and causing the Board some anxiety over the financial position of the College and its allied institutions. The Board has during the year received many applications for relief from its tenants and has continued the policy laid down of sympathetically investigating each application and, where necessary, giving reasonable concessions and assistance. The outlook continues to give grave cause for anxietv and the financial outlook is one that will require serious and careful consideration by the Board month by month. I am glad, however, to again report that the work of the College and other institutions has been carried on with the enthusiasm and success of past years. The staff must be gratified at the results, which are satisfactory to the Board. After calling for applications in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, Professor F. Sinclaire, M.A., of the University of Western Australia, was appointed to succeed Professor Wall in the Chair of English Language and Literature, and will take up his duties in the first term of 1932. The College was visited towards the end of the year by Dr. Coffman, President of the University of Minnesota, accompanied by Mrs. Coffman. Dr. Coffman came as the representative of the Carnegie Corporation to make inquiries into the conditions of higher education in this Dominion and Australia. His visit was greatly appreciated by the College and its various institutions. Benefactions. —During 1931 the following gifts were received : £100 from the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, and books or equipment from the following : The Carnegie Corporation, New York ; the Gifford Trust; estate late Mr. T. Cane ; Mrs. J. H. Alabaster ; Rev. H. Northcote ; Mr. J. H. E. Schroder ; Misses Neave ; Mrs. E. Rose Sawtell; John Chambers and Sons, Ltd. ; Sir Arthur Dudley Dobson ; Blackwells Motors, Ltd. ; Dr. R. S. Allan ; Mrs. Hastings Bridge ; Messrs. George Kent, of London ; Messrs. Grenfield and Kennedy, of England. Advice has been received that work on the War Memorial Window is progressing and that Mr. Martin Travers hopes to have it completed about the end of 1932. In terms of our arrangement the Board has already remitted £1,250 as progress payments, leaving a balance of £1,519 in hand. Finance. Last year a number of satisfactory financial arrangements were made which swelled the figures both of receipts and payments. Those given this year are for the ordinary working of the various accounts. Owing to the financial position caused by the severest economic depression in the history of the country, the Government has been compelled to reduce, and in some cases withdraw, grants made in previous years. This has materially affected the finances of the College, and compelled the Board to exercise the strictest economy in all departments. Recognizing the difficulties of the position, the members of the staff have willingly accepted the reductions and assisted the Board in its various economies. For this loyai help I should like to record my thanks and the thanks of the Board. The gross receipts from all sources were £93,563, including £1,496 from Government grants for expenditure on new buildings and furniture. The total payments were £94,492, including capital items for erection of new buildings £2,846.

REPORT (ABRIDGED) OE THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO. In accordance with the provisions of the University of Otago Ordinance, 1869, I have the honour herewith to submit a report 011 the proceedings of the University of Otago for the year ended the 31st December, 1931. The Council.—During the year Mr. J. S. Douglas, who had worthily represented the Dunedin City Council since 1922, resigned his seat. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. F. W. Mitchell, who is already displaying a lively interest in the activities of the University. The Teaching Staff. —On the teaching side various changes have occurred, involving the loss of valued members of the staff. The Mining School has lost the services of Professor Park, who was appointed Professor of Mining in 1901, and who has carried on his duties continuously with great ability for thirty years. The post of Professor of Mining and Dean of the Mining Faculty has been filled by the appointment of Dr. A. R. Andrew, a graduate of the University of Otago. Another tried and valued Professor to whom the University has said farewell is Dr. Riley, Professor of Gynaecology and Midwifery, who has retired after twenty-two years' service. As indicated in my last report, the teaching of obstetrics is now being extended, and, owing to the generous gift of £25,000 made to the University by the New Zealand Obstetrical Society, it has been possible to appoint a full-time professor. The gentleman appointed to this important position is Dr. J. B. Dawson, of Adelaide. The Commerce Faculty has sustained a heavy loss through the resignation of Mr. G. W. Reid, who has been lecturer on Book-keeping and Auditing since the inauguration of the Commerce Faculty in 1912 and has been Dean of the Commerce Faculty for a considerable period. The work previously undertaken by Mr. Reid has now been divided into two parts : Mr. A. Thomas, M.Com., has been appointed Lecturer on Book-keeping, and Mr. L. D. Mclver, Lecturer on Auditing. In the Law Faculty, too, changes have occurred, and I deeply regret that I am obliged to record the death of Mr. William Grant Hay, LL.M., a distinguished graduate of the University, who was Lecturer in Jurisprudence since 1905. A further change has been occasioned by the resignation of Mr. H. E. Barrowclough, LL.B., Lecturer in Evidence. Mr. A. C. Stephens, LL.M., previously Lecturer in Contracts, has been appointed Lecturer in Jurisprudence ; Mr. J. B. Thomson, LL.B., Lecturer in Contracts, and Mr. J. P. Ward, Lecturer in Evidence. Finance. —The year through which we have passed has been a most difficult year in the matter of finance. Owing to the serious economic depression, the University was unable to collect a very large proportion of its rents, and all Government grants were reduced by 10 per cent. This loss was to a considerable extent made good by a reduction of 10 per cent, in all salaries ; but if the Government had insisted on reducing its grants by the amount saved in salaries the position would have been rendered impossible. I wish to record my appreciation of the reasonable manner in which the Government met the University in the negotiations concerning the reduction of grants.
