The Senate at present consists of seventy-one members. In the 

 Senate are vested the most important powers of the university. It has 

 authority to make statutes for the carrying out of the work of the 

 university and colleges including the course of study, the publication of 

 the calendar, the conduct of examinations, the granting of degrees and 

 certificates of proficiency, the establishment and award of exhibitions, 

 scholarships and prizes, the affiliation of schools and colleges, the effi- 

 ciency of professors, the regulation of its own proceedings, the duties 

 of its officers and in general tlie promotion of the welfare of the uni- 

 versity. 



The most important acts both of the Board of Trustees and of the 

 Senate must be submitted for the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor- 

 in-Council before coming into force. 



It is also worthy of note that the Senate has usually exercised its 

 power of prescribing the curriculum on the advice of the professors and 

 instructors as a committee of experts in the several departments of 

 instruction. Under the present act tlie power of discipline exercised by 

 the Senate does not extend beyond matters pertajning to the examina- 

 tions and degrees. For tbeir conduct in other respects students are 

 amenable to the university council and to their several colleges or facul- 

 ties, but no student can be admitted to examination unless certified by 

 his college, for that purpose. 



The Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Eegistrar are the executive 

 officers of the Senate and give effect to its statutes and other acts. 



3. The third body concerned in the government of the university 

 is the university council. Analogous to this and represented on it are 

 the councils of the several colleges of the university. 



To the council is assigned the discipline of the students, dispensa- 

 tion from attendance on lectures, and the control and arrangement of 

 all lectures and instruction, and the regulation of all societies and asso-
