Senate meeting

THE meeting of the Senate of  Punjab University held on Wednesday evening lasted just half an hour. It was the annual Budget meetings. The VC presided and there was a full attendance of Fellows. The Budget estimates did not elicit any discussion, nor was there any division on it. The Budget shows that during the current year, the university will make the two ends meet and leave a small closing balance to be added to the balance from last year. The Senate approved the appointment of examiners made by the Syndicate for a number of examinations of 1915 and sanctioned courses of reading for the examinations of 1917. The only subject which evoked a lengthy and general discussion was the rules for the award of Government of Indian scholarship for further study in England. The age was raised to include persons under 23 years of age in April of the year of selection, while the rule providing that an M.A. was to be preferred to a B.A. was expunged, to enable brilliant B.A. to obtain the scholarship.
