7. Mr. Bevan-Brown moved, and Dr. Belcher seconded, "That certificates be granted to all candidates who in the Junior University Scholarship Examination shall obtain 1500 marks (section 5, chap. 8, New Zealand University Calendar, 1887), and the subjects in which he has satisfied the Examiners be endorsed on the certificate with some sign appended if he has won distinction in any such subject."

8. Proposed by Dr. Belcher, seconded by Mr. Walton, "That this Conference respectfully requests that no changes affecting the work of Secondary Schools be made by the Senate without prior consultation with the Principals of Secondary Schools throughout the Colony ."—Carried.

9. Proposed by Miss Edger, seconded by Mr. Harkness (Waitaki), "That this Conference is of opinion that the University Entrance Examination should be fixed to begin on a certain day, instead of varying, as at present, over the first fortnight of December."—Carried.

10. Proposed by Miss Edger, seconded by Mr. Bevan-Brown, "That this Conference is of opinion that the fee charged to matriculated students under the University statute, "Terms and Lectures," is excessive, and would therefore respectfully request the Senate to reduce it to two guineas for the examination, provided only three subjects are taken, and half a guinea additional for each extra subject."
