UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO.

Professors:

• Classics and the English Language and Literature — Prof. Sale.
• Mathematics and Natural Philosophy — Prof. Shand.
• Moral and Mental Philosophy — Prof. M’Gregor.
• Chemistry and Mineralogy — Prof. Black.

Owing to unavoidable delay in the departure of the Professors from Britain, the classes will not be opened till about the 1st of July. Classes will then be opened in the University Building, Dunedin, for Latin, Greek, the English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Moral Philosophy, the Physiology of Mind, and Elementary Psychology. Professor Black’s classes will not be opened till May, 1872.

The term will last for six months continuously, during the entire course of which instruction will be given to each Class by the Professor, by means of Text books, Lectures, and oral and written Examinations.

The Fee for each Professor is Three Guineas per Term.

There will be no Matriculation Examination at the opening of the first Session.

Every effort will be made by the Vice-Chancellor and the University authorities to ensure the proper supervision of young men from a distance who may attend the University.

The following suggestions by the Professors have been approved of by the University Council, and they will be carried out as far as practicable, subject to such amendments as may from time to time be found advisable —

1. Matriculation — That it is not advisable that any matriculation examination should be held for the admission of students at the opening of the Session of 1871; but that in future years there should be an examination in the following subjects:—
   (1.) English writing from dictation.
   (2.) Latin accidence, and translation of a portion of a Latin author.
   (3.) Arithmetic.
   (4.) Algebra — elementary rules.
   (5.) Euclid, Book I.

It seems probable that some such examination as that proposed would have a good effect upon the schools, especially if the candidates were placed in two classes, according to the results of their examination.

2. Degree of B.A. — That there should be a degree of B.A. attainable by (1) attendance upon the prescribed lectures during three sessions, and (2) passing an examination in certain subjects either at the end of the third or at the beginning of the fourth session after matriculation; or at the beginning or end of any subsequent session. That there should be no honour examination in connection with the B.A. degree.

3. Degree of M.A. — That there should be a degree of M.A., attainable only by those who have already taken the B.A. degree. That the ordinary M.A. degree should be attainable by (1) attendance upon the prescribed lectures for at least one session after the taking of the B.A. degree, and (2) by passing a further examination similar in kind to that required of candidates for the degree of B.A., such examination to be held at the end of one year from the B.A. degree, or at the commencement or end of any subsequent session. That there should also be an Honour Examination in connection with the M.A. degree. That no one should be admitted to the degree of M.A. with honors, except such as have declared their intention of entering for honors at the time of taking the B.A. degree, or within six months.

TWO SCOTCH ONE POUND NOTES, of old dates, were put into one of the numbers of Hansard for 1869, then in the Superintendent’s Office, by His Honour the Deputy-Superintendent. The whole of the numbers of Hansard for 1869, have since been lent or taken from the Superintendent’s Office. Any person, therefore, having in their possession the Hansard above-mentioned, is requested to look carefully through the same for the Missing Notes, and if found, to hand them to the Honourable Captain Fraser, Dunedin, who will give a suitable reward for the same.
