[Introduction]
A change in name of the three university colleges to "universities," the establishment of a special pharmacy course at Otago and a new emphasis on New Zealand's need for technology were some of the highlights of the 1956 meeting of the Senate of NZU held in Wellington at the end of last month.
In the course of its four-day meeting the 31-member Senate conned over u muss of reports and statistics almost a foot thick, enjoyed long academic wrangles over procedural points, took time out to watch the NZU rugby team trounce the Springboks, and made significant changes in University curricula and policy.
