The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1916

Examination:

Examination:

The proposals of the Board were:—

(a)

Examination in subject at the Intermediate grade shall be conducted by the Colleges (as the term-examination now are).

(b)

In grades higher than the Intermediate the Board of Examiners for a subject shall be the four teachers of the subject in the affiliated colleges (with or without an external examiner).

(c)

After the Board of Examiners has determined the results of the examination in that subject, the chairmen of the Boards shall be a Committee to consider the results as a Whole.

The Senate agreed to none of these proposals; it disapproved of compulsory "repeat" and of the proposal to have all courses approved by the Professorial Board.

The whole, question has been referred back to the Board of Studies and it is to hoped that the Board and the Senate will both show a spirit of sweet reasonableness, so that our degree courses and our method of examination may be brought into line with the results of modern thought.
