V.-STATUTES AND REGULATIONS.
The Statutes and Regulations passed by the Council and Senate appear in the appendix to this Report. The most important changes are those which relate to the introduction of Biology as a subject of a new professorial Chair, the division of Mental and Moral Philosophy as separate courses, the fuller and more practical teaching of
·Chemistry, Botany, and Zoology. Courses have been framed for the new degree of Doctor and Bachelor of Science, and the curriculum for degrees in Medicine and Surgery has been completely remodelled. The Statutes and Regulations embodying these alterations will shortly be submitted to Your Excellency for allowance and counter-signature.
VI-RESIGNATION OF THE CHANCELLOR.
On the 1st February the Right Rev. Dr. Moorhouse resigned both his office of Chancellor and of member of Council. It was moved and carried unanimouslv" That this Council accepts with deep regret the resignation by the Right Rev. "the Bishop of 1\felhourne of his office of Chancellor of this University, and heartily
11
thanks him for his diligence, his energy, and his zeal in performing the duties of that office. That the Council also desires to express its gratification that Her Majesty has been pleased to recognize by his appointment to the See of Manchester the eminent services of the Bishop to this colony, and its earnest hope that he may long and successfully labour in the new sphere of action to which he has thus been called."
VIL-CHANGES IN THE CouNCIL.
The following Gentlemen have been elected members of Council :-On the 23rd March, Mr. John Henry MacFarland, M.A., Master of Ormond College, in the place of Dr. Moorhouse, resigned. On the 6th of April, Mr. Andrew Harper, M.A., Head Master of the Presbyterian Ladies' College, in the place of Mr. Rusden, resigned. On the 16th of N:ovember, Sir Archibald Michie, Q.C., in the place of Dr. Hearn, whose period of office expired by effiuxion of time.
VIIL-ABSENCE oF MEMBERs oF CouNCIL.
Leave of absence has been granted to the Rev. Alexander M orison to the 31st December, 1886, and to Professor McCoy, for six months, from the 1st of November. This gentleman's period of office will, however, expire by effiuxion of time on the 8th March next year.
IX.-LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
Professor McCoy, the Professor of Natural Science, applied for leave of absence from his professorial duties, on the ground of ill-health. The Council granted him leave for six months, and appointed the Rev. A. W. Cresswell, M.A., as his locum tenens.
X.-THE CHAIR OF CLASSICS AND PHILOLOGY.
Professor Tucker, the recently-appointed Professor, entered upon his duties at the beginning of this year. The work of the Chair being considered by the Council too onerous for its efficient performance by a single teacher, it was determined to appoint a Lecturer to assist the Professor. Accordingly applications for the post of Lecturer were invited, and out of the eleven candidates who were applicants, the choice fell on Mr. ~"'rancis Peacock Simpson, M.A., Oxford. Mr. Simpson was appointed on the 15th of February, and commenced his duties on the 1st March.
XL-THE CrrAIR oF NATURAL SciENCE.
The subjects of this Chair being too numerous and extensive, a re-arrangement has been made. Up to the present time the Professor has taught in three courses of Lectures the following subjects :-( 1) Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Botany ; ( 2) Comparative Anatomy and Zoology ; ( 3) Geology and Palreontology.
Next year Chemistry will be taught exclusively by the Professor of Chemistry and his assistant. Comparative Anatomy and Zoology will he divided between the Pro~essors of Natural Science and of Biology. Geology and Palreontology will be retamed by the Professor of Natural Science.
XIL-THE CRAm Oli' BIOLOGY.
Or1 the 31st August the Council sent a letter to the Agent-General for Victoria, informing him of the tact that a Professorship of Biology had been created in the University of :Melbourne, and asked his assistance (in conjunction with a committee of experts) in the selection of a qualified candidate. A reply has been received from Sir Graham Berry expressing his willingness to comply with the request of the Council. It is anticipated that the selection will shortly be made, and that the Council will he in a position to appoint the Professor before the commencement of next year's Lectures.
r 12
XIII.-THE CHAIR oF MENTAL AND MoRAL PHILOSOPHY.
On the 31st May, Dr. Lauric, the Lecturer on Logic and Philosophy, was appointed to the Professorship of Mental and Moral Philosophy. The duties of the Professor will be to lecture and examine on the following subjects :-(1) Deductive. Logic, first year ; ( 2) Inductive Logic, second year ; (3) Mental Philosophy, second year; ( 4) Moral Philosophy, third year.
XIV.-THE CHAIR OF CHEMISTRY.
A letter has been received from the Agent-General, stating that there were thirty-four applicants for the Professorship, and that the five gentlemen whose names are mentioned below and placed in order of merit had been unanimously selected by the committee :-Masson, Perkin, Hake, Stuart, Luff. The Council, having pledged itself to appoint one of the five selected candidates, appointed the·first-named gentleman. Dr. Masson arrived in Melbourne on the 16th of October. He took part in the Ordinary and Honour Examinations of the October Term, but did not lecture, as it was thought desirable that the Acting-Professor (Mr. Kirkland) should complete the year's course of lectures, which were then on the eve of termination.
XV.-PRoFESSORs' HousEs.
In addition to the houses of the Registrar and of Professor Nanson-which are now completed-six houses are in course of erection, to be occupied by Dr. Hearn, ' and Professors Elkington, Alien, Andrew, Morris and Tucker. The name of the , contractor is Mr. Joseph Hollow, and the amount of his contract is £12,600. These houses will be ready for occupation in the early part of next year.
XVI.-CLINICAL TEACHING.
In its Report of last year, the Council mentioned "that the appointment of but two Clinical Lecturers, one on Medicine and one on Surgery, was not sufficient-their teaching and practice being, in the opinion of the Council, of too limited a character," and the Council in consequence appointed four Clinical Lecturers, ·whose term of office expired on the 31st December, 1885. During the present year, the Council again appointed four Clinical Lecturers-Doctors Williams and Fulton and Messrs Fitzgerald and Girdlestone-whose term of office will expire at the end of this year.
In order to secure the most satisfactory teaching in Clinical Medicine and Surgery, a deputation from the Council waited upon the Honourable the Premier and Treasurer, on the 18th of November·, urging on him the desirableness of the Government nominating two Physicians and two Surgeons to the Hospital, as Clinical Teachers, on the recommendation of the University. After considerable discussion had ensued, the Premier informed the Deputation that he would communicate with the Committee of the Melbourne Hospital on the subject.
If four Clinical Lecturers be appointed in the future, it will be necessary to obtain from Parliament an additional sum of .£500 per annum for Clinical Teaching.
The Council has been in communication with the Melbourne Hospital in regard to the appointment by the Council of Clinical Lecturers at the Melbourne Hospital, who shall be ea: officio Physicians and Surgeons of that Institution, and has approved of a bye-law submitted by the Committee of the Hospital.
It is hoped that this bye-law may receive the sanction of the Governors and Subscribers of the Hospital at an early date, so that the Council may be enabled to ensure the necessary teaching of Clinical Medicine and Surgery.
XVII.-W YSELASKIE ScHOLARSHIPs.
An additional sum of £1,734 18s. has heen received from the Executors of the late Mr. W yselaskie. The total amount now at the disposal of the Council for these Scholarships is £10,134 18s. The value of each Scholarship is the net income of its endo'"i'ment fund during the term of such Scholarship, and which cannot in any case exceed four years. The Scholarships are open to both graduates and undergraduates.
In accordance ·with the provisions of the Statute, the first examination for these Scholarships was held in the October Term of this year.
13
XVIII.-UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.
A letter has been received from the University of London, forwarding the following resolution passed by that institution :-"That the Medical School of the University of Melbourne l)e recognized as an Institution from which the University of London will receive certificates for Degrees in Medicine." It was resolved that the thanks of the Council be sent to the University of London.
XIX.-CORPORATION OF LONDON.
A letter has been received from the Corporation of London, transmitting a medal commemorative of the opening of the new Council Chamber of the Guildhall. The receipt of the donation has been thankfully acknowledged.
XX.-GILcHRIST ScHOLARSHIPs.
A letter has been received from the Secretary, in which he states that the Gilchrist Trustees have for some time felt that the Scholarships have not attracted that interest which might have been expected, and that their result, in an educational point of view, has not been equivalent to the expense at which they are maintained. The Trustees invite the opinion of those who are interested in the subject, whether any, and if so, what alterations could be made that would render Scholarships tenable in England objects of keener rivalry; or, whether it might be more beneficial for the educational interests of the colonists to withdraw and discontinue all such scholarships, and to substitute for them Scholarships to be held in the colonies.
The Trustees further invite, from those who may advocate the latter alternative suggestions for the institution of such Scholarships, and desire to be favoured with opinions on the following points, viz. :-( 1.) The amount of such Scholarships and their length of tenure. (2.) At what institutions they should be held. (3.) The limits of age of the candidates. ( 4.) The character of the competitive examination upon which they should be awarded. ( 5.) The conditions upon which they should be held. (6.) And in what manner, if instituted, they could be kept under the supervision and control of the Gilchrist Trustees.
In answer to this important letter, the Council has stated that it would be desirable to make the Scholarships £200 instead of £100 a year; to remove the .restriction as to the University of graduation, and as to the place of study; that the age of candidates should not exceed the age of twenty-two ; that the examinations sliould be conducted by examiners in the Colonies ; that the standard of the papers should be higher than those for Matriculation in the University of London. If the Scholarships are to remain at £100 a year they should be made tenable at one of the ·Australian Universities for three years, and the age of candidates should be limited to nineteen or twenty.
As regards the chamcter of the competitive examination, it would be well to keep to the London University Matriculation examination. As to conditions, the passing in the requisite number ·of subjects in each year of tenure of some year of some course for a Degree in one of our Universities would be sufficient, and the Trustees would keep the Scholarships under their control and supervision, if they
· arranged to pay on success, £50; on completing first year, £100; on completing second year, £100; on completing third year, £50. Failure to complete a year in any one year oftenure to forfeit tlie Scholarship.
XXI-ELECTION OF CHANCELLOR AND V ICE-CHANCELLOR.
On the 3rd May, 1886, Dr. Hearn was elected Chancellor and Dr. Brownless Vice-Chancellor of the University for the ensuing year.
The office of Chancellor became vacant on the 5th October in consequence of Dr. Hearn's period of office as member of Council having expired by effiux:ion of time.
The Council has not yet proceeded to the election of a member to fill the · .vacant office of Chancellor.
XXII.-APPOIN'TMENT OF LECTURERS.
The gentlemen who held the position of Lecturers were re-elected to their respective offices for the ensuing year.
