The Senate has this year made complete provision for the details of a curriculum in Agriculture, and students who successfully complete a course in Mechanical, Civil, or Mining Engineering, or in Agriculture, may now be admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Science in any of these professional branches. It may therefore be now said that university instruction and graduation in the highest departments of technical education are brought within the reach of any colonist in New Zealand who desires to avail himself of them. Further, the Senate has endeavoured to meet, as far as seems consistent with the maintenance of a proper standard of university work, the needs of those who, from the circumstances of the colony, are debarred from the privilege of regular attendance at a college. With this view, provision has been made whereby such persons may obtain university certificates of proficiency in any subject which they desire to take up for examination, without attendance at college lectures. 29th April, 1895.
