The following advice was received on May 9. 1952, from the Registrar. University of Otago:—

"The Council has now given further consideration to the rule imposed last December by which it was announced that 'Applicants from students wishing to commence second-year medical studies in 1854 and subsequent years, will not normally be accepted if the applicant is more than 24 years of age on December 31 in the year of application." The Council is prepared to consider this rule again during the current year, and you will be advised if any modifications or alterations in the present position are agreed upon.

"Meanwhile the Council is pre pared to consider the cases of students affected by the rule, if a request for such consideration is received either from the students or from the college on behalf of the students."
