1898.                                                                                      [No. 55

      THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

(b) The Director may in his discretion permit the holding of a bursary
to be suspended during any period or periods the holder thereof
was the holder also of a Teacher's Training College Studentship
which does not provide for payment in whole or in part of
University tuition fees.

V. LAPSE OF BURSARY.

12. If at the end of any year a report from the Supervising Authority
    to the Director shows that the bursar has failed—
    (a) Regularly to attend the classes in his course of study; or
    (b) To make satisfactory progress in the work of those classes; or
    (c) To be credited by the University with passes in the minimum number
    of subjects required for the respective year in his permitted
    course of study—
    then the bursary shall forthwith be determined, unless it be shown to the
    satisfaction of the Director that such failure in regular attendance, satis-
    factory progress, or being credited as aforesaid was due to illness or other
    sufficient cause.

13. On receipt of an unfavourable report from the Supervising Authority
    to the Director on the attendance, progress, diligence, or conduct of a
    bursar, the Director may at any time determine the bursary.

14. Subject to clause 11, any bursary shall lapse if the bursar does not
    within fourteen days after notice of the award has been given to him
    notify the Director of his intention to enter upon a permitted course of
    study at a college.

15. Any bursary shall lapse if the bursar without the written approval
    of the Director given on the recommendation of the Supervising Authority
    does not in due course pursue, or ceases to pursue, the permitted course of
    study which he first commenced to pursue; but on such recommendation
    and with such approval as aforesaid a bursar may change from one
    permitted course of study to another.

16. If any University tuition fees are with the knowledge of a bursar
    paid for the benefit of a bursar while he is debarred from enjoying the
    benefit of a bursary pursuant to these regulations his bursary shall
    immediately cease and determine.

17. Any University tuition fees paid for the benefit of a bursar while
    he is debarred from enjoying the benefit of a bursary pursuant to these
    regulations may be deducted by the Director from any subsequent moneys
    payable in respect of bursar's tuition fees to the college to which such
    first-named fees were paid.

VI. CONCURRENT AWARDS.

18. No bursar shall enjoy any pecuniary benefit from a University
    National Bursary during any period in which he is the holder of any other
    bursary or any scholarship, exhibition, studentship, or similar award which
    in the opinion of the Director is reasonably sufficient to provide in whole
    or in part for the payment of University tuition fees; but if during the term
    of the bursary he ceases to be the holder of such scholarship or similar
    award, and no event has happened to cause the bursary to lapse or be
    determined under these regulations, then during the remainder of the
    term of the bursary he shall be entitled to the benefits thereof as hereinafter
    provided.

VII. BENEFITS OF BURSARY.

19. Every bursary shall be of such an amount (not exceeding £20 in
    any year) as may be approved by the Minister of Education to be applied
    towards payment of the tuition fees of the bursar at the college on whose
    books his name is entered in connection with his permitted course of study.

20. The Minister of Education may from time to time vary the amount
    of any bursary.

21. Except in a special case and with the approval of the Director, no
    payment shall be made towards fees for more than one year in connection
    with tuition in any subject at any one stage.

22. Payments may be made towards fees for tuition not in connection
    with the bursar's permitted course of study if such tuition is in subjects
    recommended by the Supervising Authority as being accessory to an
    Honours Course.

23. All payments in respect of bursaries shall be made directly to the
    Registrar or Treasurer or other proper officer of the college at which the
    tuition fees are payable in satisfaction pro tanto of the liability of the bursar
    for payment of such fees.

F. D. THOMSON, Clerk of the Executive Council.
