Final (Part I)
Arts Faculty only: Pure Mathematics :-4 entered and all passed.
In past years the Professor of Mathematics has always ex- pressed the wish that when funds become available, something may be spared for the provision of models and wall diagrams, and for new and improved black-boards in the Mathematics De- partment.

Staff:-W. Faid, M.Sc. (Professor of Physics).
D. F. Davics, B.A. (Lecturer).
Un Po, B.Sc. (Demonstrator).
The lectures in Physics are attended by undergraduates drawn from the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering and Arts.

Medical students take the first year Physics course, whilst students from the Faculty of Engineering attend both the first and second year courses. Groups 2 and 4a of the Faculty of Arts offer advanced courses in Physics, the former allowing for four years study of the subject. The number of undergraduates in the department was 99, distributed as follows:
1st Year 2nd Year 3rd Year 4th Year

The session 1930 produced the first graduate who had com- pleted the advanced Physics course of Group 2 in the Faculty of Arts. The standard of work attained was very good, and it proved that the Physics Department is now able to cope with a fair number of advanced students. This is a distinct step for- ward, for should the number of Group 2 graduates increase, we can reasonably expect the institution of post graduate work. At the present time, any work of this nature, though of vital im- portance to the University, could only be attempted in certain very restricted areas of Physics. It should be our aim to increase the facilities for this type of work, and it would appear that this could best be done by allowing special research grants for the purchase of the necessary apparatus, for it is certain that the present annual grant to the Department is not even sufficient to ineet the needs of the ordinary degree courses.
During the year the advanced laboratory course has been strengthened by the purchase of a certain amount of new apparatus, and it is worthy of note that some of this may be utilised in research work.
