University scholars, two Senior National scholars, and twenty-eight bursars commenced their studies at the College. A Senior University Scholarship in philosophy was awarded to a student of the College. Owing to the decision of the Selection Committee, no nominations for Rhodes Scholarships took place. The Work oj the College.— Owing to the new University Regulations for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelot of Science which came into force in. 1919, whereby the pass courses are to occupy one year and the advanced courses two years, it became necessary to revise the time-table of classes. It is a very difficult matter to avoid the clashing of subjects, owing to the fact that most of the classes have to be held between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. ; but very careful consideration has been given, and it is believed that there will be no serious clashing which cannot be avoided by proper arrangement of courses. The time-table lias been lightened by the removal of the junior classes, which will now be held only in cases of necessity, and will not interfere with the qualifying courses. There is being drawn up a scheme of the most suitable courses, so that students may be advised as to the best choice and arrangement of their subjects. Students at the Front. —The number of students who have enlisted and joined the Expeditionary Force is steadily increasing, and, we grieve to say, the number of those who have made the supreme sacrifice is also becoming greater.
