TRAINING COLLEGE REPORT. Normal School, Dunedin, 17th March, 1902. The Staff of the Teainin& College.—Mr. William Gray, M.A., B.Sc. (vice-principal), resigned his position at the end of the year on receiving an appointment as rector of the High School, Palmerston North. Mr. Gray held the position of vice-principal for five years, and during that time carried out his duties with great efficiency. He was popular with the staff and the students. We all regret his departure from the Training College and from Otago. The Board at its meeting in January appointed Mr. Marshall, 8.A., vice-principal. He has been a member of the Normal School staff for some twelve or thirteen years. The Board recognised his long and valuable services to the school by placing him in the higher and more responsible position.
