REPOET OF THE SENATE.

The University Entrance Board met on the 26th August, 1930, and made certain recommendations affecting the subjects of the Entrance and Entrance Scholarships Examinations, which were duly referred to the Academic Board. The Academic Board met on the sth November, 1930, and recommended the amendment of certain statutes, mainly in matters of detail, and the enactment of a new statute enabling the Senate to grant honorary degrees. The recommendations were, for the most part, adopted by the Senate at its annual meeting on the 14th January, 1931. The honorary degree of Doctor of Science was then conferred upon Lord Rutherford of Nelson. The statutes amended made provision for additional stages in geography as a subject of the B.A. degree, and for a new course for the diploma in Banking ; the keeping of terms was made necessary for the diplomas in Journalism and Education. Empowered by section 3 of the New Zealand University Amendment Act, 1926, the Senate, through its committee appointed for the purpose, approved of the establishment of a Chair of Obstetrics in the Medical School at the University of Otago.
