Pre-Matriculation Students. We think it would be
more satisfactory for both the University and these students
themselves if their teaching were done outside; at either
St. Stephen's College, or some other school, or by private
tuition, as best suits the case of each individual student.
They could continue to reside in the hostels, and to be under
the supervision of the suthorities of the University, and to
take part in its general life. This change, we understand,
would put the students to no extra expense, and would save
two whole-time lecturers.
With regard to the present special course for an
honour degree in Arts, we find that no student has ever taken
the honour degree, and that none are now reading for it. We
therefore recommend that the special course be abolished; and
that the honour degree be granted on the same instruction and
the same examinations as the pass degree, but for higher
proficienav.
We notice that lecturing work has very unequally
acoupied the various members of the staff, the timetables for
last term showing that lecturing hours ranged from two to
seventeen or more a week. If tutorial houre are included,
the difference is still marked. It appears to us that some
of the staff could, with advantage to the University, devote
part of their time to teaching certain subjecte other than those for which they were particularly engaged. The instruction in English, which we regard as of great importance,
might we think be strengthened in this way, We therefore
recommend that all new Agreements for the engagement of
members of the teaching staff should expressly provide that they may be called upon to undertake any teaching within
their power, although outside the subjects for which they are
particularly engaged, And we suggest ite being put to present
members of the teaching staff that they should be similarly
prepared
