120 PHESIDENT's address SECTION B. 



has been to grant scholarships in order that schoolboys might get a 

 university eiducation, and to stop those scholarships as soon as the 

 student has graduated, i.e., just at the time when with no more exami- 

 nations before him he could, in the absence of financial woriy, give 

 his mind completely to the pursuit of higher work. The New Zealand 

 Government has recently recog-nised this need, and has established in 

 each of' the four university colleges of tlie Dominion a research 

 scholarship of .£100 per annum, tenable for two years. The University 

 of Melbourne has also decided to spend £1000 per annimi on i-esearch 

 scholarships, and it is to be hoped that all the other universities will 

 follow this good example. Such a policy would do much to develop 

 the, research ideal amongst our students, and would go far to stamp 

 out the common error that university education ends when the degree 

 examinations are passed.
