The Chancellob of the Univebsity to His Excellency the Govebnob. My Loed, — University of New Zealand, Wellington, 30th April, 1890. In accordance with the provisions of clause 28 of the University Act of 1874, I have the honour to forward to your Lordship the report of the Senate of the University for the year last past. I have, &c, His Excellency the Earl of Onslow, James Hectoe, Governor of New Zealand. Chancellor. Annual Eepoet of the Senate. In compliance with the 28th clause of " The New Zealand 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:— The Senate met at Dunedin on the 26th February, 1890, which time and place were fixed at the last annual meeting of the Senate, as prescribed by the University Act. The Senate, at its meeting of this year, made certain amendments and additions to the statutes formerly in force. The statutes made with a view to giving effect to these amendments and additions have already been submitted to and approved by His Excellency. In accordance with the provisions of the University Act, the seventh meeting of the Court of Convocation was held at Christchurch on the 15th day of January, 1890. At that meeting several resolutions were passed, upon which action has been taken by the Senate. The next meeting of Convocation will be held, at Dunedin on 21st January, 1891. The Bowen prize of 1889 has been awarded to C. C. Plante, an undergraduate of the University. The John Tinline scholarship of 1889 has been awarded to C. C. Plante, of the Canterbury College. A statement of the accounts of the University for the year 1889, audited in accordance with the law, is herewith presented. The Senate held a special session at Christchurch on 24th April, 1890, at which the following degrees were conferred, after consideration of the reports of the University Examiners : The degree of Master of Arts on twenty Bachelors of Arts; the degree of Bachelor of Arts on twenty-seven undergraduates; the degree of Bachelor of Science on three graduates in arts ;'«the degree of Bachelor of Medicine on five undergraduates; the degree of Doctor of Medicine on'two Bachelors of Medicine. The Senate desires to record its earnest conviction that, in the best interests of higher education in the colony, the establishment of a University College at Wellington is urgently needed; and, further, that it is necessary that such college should be fully equipped for the prosecution of University work on at least the same scale as has been provided by the Parliament of the colony for the University College at Auckland. The number of graduates of the University admitted after examination is now as follows: Bachelors of Arts (alone), 126; Bachelors of Arts and Bachelors of Laws, 7; Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Medicine, 1; Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Laws, 1; Bachelor of Laws (alone), 1; Bachelors of Medicine (alone), 7 ; Masters of Arts (alone), 80; Masters of Arts and Bachelors of Science, 6; Masters of Arts^and Bachelors of Laws, 4; Master of Arts and Doctor of Laws, 1; Doctors of Medicine (alone), 2 : total, 236. The "number of undergraduates now on the -soil of the University is 1,032. James Hectoe, Wellington, 30th April, 1890. Chancellor.
