PRESENTATION OF DIPLOMAS.

Another " Sweet Girl Graduuto.

Pursuant to announcement, tho jmblic presentation of Bachelor of Arts diplomas to Miss Clementine Emily Margaret Harri son, Mr Bartholomew Cronin (Head-master of Tuakau School), and Mr Walter Henry Airey, the three successful Auckland undergraduates in the last University examinations, is taking plane this after noon in the Choral Hall. Bishop Cowie, Vice-Chancellor's delegate, pre side, and there aro ranged around him on the platform a large number of graduates in their distinctive academical dress. _ Tho attendance of ladies and gentlemen inter ested more or less directly in educational matters is also considerable.

Bishop Cowie, in opening the proceed ings, said: —On this first occasion of presenting diplomas after the death of our Chancellor, Mr Henry John Tancred, it would be unbecoming in me not to refer to the loss that the Univer sity ha? sustained by that event. Mr Tanered held the office of Chancellor from the foundation of the University in 1871, and for thirteen years discharged with great zeal and efficiency the responsibilities of his position, to Iho lasting benefit of the Univeis'.ty. The Chancellor's duties are at "presant being performed by the Vice - Chancellar, Doctor Hector, at whose request I am now about to present three B.A. diplomas to Avckland graduates of the University. The fact of one of these being a lady will recall tc the memory 6f some who are here to-day the presentation, in this hall, in 1577, of the first BA. diploma tnat was ever bestowed on a lady at a University of tlic British Empire. Since then, several .New Zealand ladies have followed the good precedent set by Miss Kate Milligan Edgar, and taken their degree; and other Universities of the Empire, including the aneitnt University of Cambridge, have fol lowed the enlightened example of our New Zealand University in granting degrees to women on the same terms as to men. By the last English papers wo ate informed that a lady graduate of the University of London, Mrs Sophia Bryant, has obtained a higher degree than has so far been .bestowed on any of our New Zealand sister graduates, viz., that of Doctor of Science, a degree only once before gained, a))d then by a°man, in 1870, in the branch of science in which this lady has distinguished her solf, viz., logic, psychology, ethics, and other subjects. if 1 live long enough I shall hope to^be present at the present at tlio presentation of a similar diplomu to an .Auoklpnd lady graduate. At the last ses. ,sion <of our University Senate, regulations were rwde for the examinations to be pasted )by candidates for the degrees of Bachelor and Doctor ai Science, and on this subject ifrofessor Br«uw, a Fellow of the University jiod one of our «wn Auckland Professors, •wUI, at my request, tell you something of (what has been done in this matter. It ia specially gratifying to _ bestow University diplomas on such recipients as are now to receive them, namely, graduates who have studied for their degree whilst engaged in the duties of their calling in life, two of them having been all the timeoceupied in the honourable employ ment of teachers in our public schools. As time goes on, we hope to see members of all profesions and occupations giving part of their leisure time to the systematic study, .encouraged by the help that can now be ob tained in Auckland from our distinguished ■ staff of teachers at the University College \ iflther educational institutions. For i the further encouragementof such students, I would remind them that William Wal lace, formerly Professor Cf. Mathematics at Edinburgh, began life as a btfok-binder s apprentice; that Alexander Christian, Professor of Humanity in the same University, obtained his teaching at a parochial school in Berwickshire, and that Professor Dunbar, the author of the well know Greek Lexicon, was a gardner, di& abled from following his occupation by an injury received from a falling tree. The Rev. Mr Mulgan, who was a jnember of the fecent Royal Commission on higher educa tion in the colony, has kindly consented to ; *tate some of the beneficial results to Auckj.' tland of that important inquiry. ;

LECTURE ON "SCIENCE AND GENESIS."

Mn John Buchanan delivered a lecture on "Science and Genesis," last night, before St. Stephen's Mutual Improvement Society. There was a good attendance, llcv. D. \V. Bunciman occupied the chair. Tho lec turer stated that thore were many modes of explaining the account of Creation as given in Genesis. He himself favoured the idea that tho periods spoken of as days were natural days of 21 hours each, and believed that all tho phenomena found recorded on and in the rocks by tlie geologist were cap able of being reconciled with that theory. The great fact of Creation was clearly demonstrated, and that of Evolu tion showu to bo without real founda tion. " Heaven and earth" meant the material universe ; and although the sun was in its place in the firmanent previous to the fourth day, its rays did not until then brighten and vivify tho surface of tho world, owing to tho thick and impervious covering of fog and vapour in which tho latter was onveloped. Thcorder of creation as arranged by recent discoveries in science was fully dealt with, and the wonderful manner in which it corresponded with the Mosaic account clearly shown. The question then arose from what source did iloses acquire knowledge of a myetery which modern scientists aro just beginning to un ravel ? The conclusion must be tliat it was revealed to him by the Creator Himself. Mr Buchanan summed up tho whole argument in an eloquent and graphic peroration, reminding his audience that the Bible was intended to teach men a pure and holy religion, not to give them lessons in natural science. In tho remarks of the subsequent speakers the statements of Mr Buchanan were generally approved ; ,tjhe subject of discussion with inndels was also alluded to, but met with marked dis approbation ; the prevailing opinion being .that tho lecturers of the typo cf Mr Buchanan's lato opponent were not merely jinwortby of the powder and shot expended upon them, but iroin ,their par ticular cast of miiid M->ex,e incapable of deal ing in fln impartial manner with the moral and spiritual tmths set forth in tho Scrip tures. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Buchanan for hw interesting and instructive lecture. In returning thanks iifl replied briefly to the remarks of his hearers, and defended his action lin the recent pvbifc debate, being of opinion that discussion ou ifes "Evidences of Christianity " was not only u«e&l, but highly Accessary to the cause of I'eligio&s,. In" such 4ebaips the Christian had nothing to fear, for he staqd on a foundation which could not bo moved. It was intimated Ui?.t # scries of readings and recitations would hi given at the ,next meetw.ig on Sept. W.
