2.—NEW BUILDINGS.
The new buildings rendered necessary by the institution of a School of Agriculture and t h c enlargement ot t h e Mining School -were begun in December, 1905, and are now in use, with the exception of .the Agricultural Chemistry Laboratories, the fittings of which are still incomplete. The buildings include a Mining School containing Lecture Rooms, Laboratories and Museum for Geology, Metallurgy, and Mining Engineering; au addition to the Biology School, providing Laboratory and other accommodation for the new department of Botany and for the Lecturer on Histology; additional Laboratories for Pathology and Bio- Chemistry, and new Laboratories for Agriculture and
Analytical Chemistry. Tho unused rooms at thc Bacterio- logical Laboratory have been fitted up, while the removal of the Metallurgical Department has provided room for the extension of the Senior Chemical Laboratory and the equipment of a small Laboratory for Physical Chemistry.
Tlie rooms vacated by the Geology department will provide a research laboratory for the Physics School and additional lecture rooms for t h e Arts School. A battery house has been built at the back of the new Mining School; but there are at present no funds for the purchase of mining machin- ery.
The division of the Chair of Anatomy and Physiology has called fresh attention to the necessity of increased accommodation for the Anatomy School, and plans have been prepared for the addition of a second story to tho present buildings at a cost of about .£4500.
The expansion of thc University and the establishment of new departments render it desirable to fit up the old Museum Building for the purposes of a Library, as was originally intended. This will involve the removal of (he Conservatorium of Music, and the provision of buildings better adapted for its purposes.
3.—THE MEDICAL SCHOOL.
The new regulations for the Medical Curriculum, adopted in October, 1905, came into operation at the beginning of the present year.
The regulations substitute for the former five annual Examinations three Examinations, to be held at the end of the three main divisions of the course, and secure an increase in t h e length of the course by the institution of a fourth term of teaching in each year.
The requirements for the M.D. Examination have been made wider, so as demand a general knowledge of Medicine and a special knowledge of either Obstetrics, Gynecology, t h e Diseases of Children, or t h e Diseases of the Nervous System including Insanity.
Regulations have also been adopted for t h e institution of of a Diploma of Public Health.
5 0 2 ANNUAL REPORT, 1905-1906;.
4.—ENGINEERING SCHOOL.
The Regulations for Engineering courses have been revised in accordance with the recommendations ot t h e . Committee which inquired into tho matter in 190+, the entrance examination being brought into line with the requirements ot the Institution of Civil Engineers, tho standard of Mathematics throughout the course being raised, and t h e amount of practical work required in each year being increased. A new course in Mechanical Engin- eering is provided. The Electrical Engineering course remains suspended owing to want of funds for equipment and teaching staff, arrangements in the meantime being made by which students who have passed t h e first two years of t h e course in Melbourne, may be admitted ad eundem statum to the Third Year ot tho course at the University of Sydney.
5.—STATUTES AND REGULATIONS.
Other Regulations passed during t h c year provide for the extension of the course for the Degree of Bachelor of Music to four years; the institution ot courses for a Diploma of Architecture, and a Diploma of Analytical Chemistry, tho affiliation of tho Australian College of Dentistry, an altera- tion in the tenure of Lecturers, and an extension of the system of Terra Examinations, which has now been fully tested by a three years' experiment.
6.—UNIVERSITY SPORTS.
The recent revival of University Sports, and the estab- lishment of a Sports Union led, at t h e beginning of 1905, to a petition of undergraduates asking t h a t the University should collect an annual teo from all male students for the upkeep of t h e Recreation Reserve, and the various Athletic Clubs. A regulation has been adopted to carry this pro- posal into effect, provision being made for any necessary exemptions, and the new system came into force a t t h e beginning of this year. The result has been soon in a great increase in the number ot men using the grounds, and t h e women students have petitioned for a similar system. The administration of the funds, and the the care of the Recre- ation Ground have been entrusted to a Committee on which the Council, the Staff, the Colleges, and the Undergraduates a r e represented.
During the year a new Cricket Pavilion has been erected on the grounds, t h e funds for which were partly raised by subscription and partly provided bv the University Cricket Club.
7.—REGISTRATION OP SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS.
The Council has expressed to the Premier its gratification at the passing of the Act for the Registration of Schools and Teachers, wliich came into force at the beginning of 1906. It feels that this measure, which it has urged upon successive Governments for many years, wiU be of the greatest service to thc cause of education in Victoria.
8.—RELATIONS W I T H GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS.
To assist the Government in matters requiring expert scientific knowledge, and to consider all scientific questions ot common interest to the University and the-Government Departments, a permanent Advisory Committee has been formed from the heads ot Departments and the Science Professors of the University.
9.—FREE STUDENTSHIPS.
In 'accordance with the arrangement made with the Government iu 190-1, 21 now students nominated by the Director of Education have been admitted to the course for the Diploma ot Education without tec, making a total of -40 free students attending the two years of t h a t course.
10—SCHOOLS OF MINES.
Regulations have been adopted by which students of recognised Schools of Mines who have received instruction equivalent in character and amount to t h a t required in the University, may be admitted to Examination for the Diplomas in Mining and in Metallurgy and for Degrees in Engineering, on payment of about one-fifth of t h e yearly foe. The Schools ot Mines at Ballarat and Bendigo have applied for and received recognition under these regulations.
At t h e end of 1905 a Committee, representing the Uni- versity and the Working Men's College, was appointed to consider the question of the overlapping ot work at t h e two
5 0 4 ANNUAL REPORT, 1905-1906.
institutions. This Committee has now been made perman- ent, and is charged with the duty of considering all matters of common interest.
11—GRANT OF LAND.
Tho land adjoining the Medical School, formerly reserved for a Military College in connection With the University, which was surrendered by the Commonwealth Defence Department in 1903 on the understanding t h a t it should be granted to the University, has been divided by the Govern- ment between t h e University and t h e Training College, t h e University obtaining the portion nearest the Medical School, containing an area of about two and a quarter acres. This will afford room for the ultimate expansion of the medical and scientific departments.
]2.—BACTERIOLOGICAL LABORATORY.
Dr. K. J. Bull, M.D., B.S., who since the resignation of Dr. Cherry has had charge ot the Bacteriological Labora- tory has been definitely appointed Director.
The continued inci'easc of thc work of the Laboratory has rendered necessary the appointment of an additional permanent demonstrator, Mr. 0 . A. Sayce being selected for the position.
During t h e year 1905, 3454 examinations of disease specimens for the Board of Health, thc Prahran City Council, the hospitals, and medical practitioners, were con- ducted in the Laboratory, the diseases including tubercu- losis, typhoid, diphtheria, plague, pneumonia, influenza, actinomycosis, leprosy, cerebrospinal and other forms of men- ingitis, tetanus, diarrhoea, and dysentery. The number of these examinations shows an increase of 20 per cent, on tho number of the previous year, and is three times as large as t h a t of the year after the foundation of Laboratory (1898).
For the Stock and Dairy branches of the Agricultural Department 124 specimens of animal diseases, chiefly anthrax and swine fever, were examined; together with samples of boue-meal, infected hay, water, milk, cream and butter. An increasing number of pure " s t a r t e r s " were supplied to butter and cheese factories w i t h excellent results, and " nitrogen-bacteria" were isolated for the first
time from lucerne nodules and supplied to thc Department for field experimentation. The usual examinations of water and sewage were made tor the Metropolitan Board of Works and the Melbourne City Council ; and sundry special investigations and researches were undertaken, especially in connection with blood-precipitins and
land anthrax.
13.—SPECIAL CLASSES.
• A Postgraduate Course of Lectures on "Antibodies iii tho Blood," given at the Bacteriological Laboratory by Dr.
Bull, was attended by 29 medical graduates.
Thc usual classes in Bacteriology for Butter Factory Managers were attended by 72 students.
The passing ot the Milk and Dairy Supervision Act has given rise to a demand for trained Supervisors. To meet this demand special classes have been organised in conjunction with the Agricultural Department, and 51 students have attended courses lasting over two terms, conducted by Professor Osborne, Dr. Bull, and Messrs. Cameron, Crowe, Carroll and Archer, ot t h e A gricultural Department.
During t h e year an Australasian Massage Association has been formed, which has drawn up a two years? course of training for intending Masseurs. 'Arrangements have been made for tho teaching ot the work in Anatomy and Physiology a t the University. Special Classes, attended by about 40 practising masseurs, arc now being conducted by Mr. J. G. Shcahan and Mr. H. M. Hewlett, who have been appointed Demonstrators of Anatomy and Physiology res- pectively.
14.—MUSIC EXAMINATIONS.
At the Inter-University Conference held in connection with the Jubilee, a resolution was adopted in favour of co-operation between thc Universities of Australia and New Zealand in the conduct ot Public Examinations in Music.
It is hoped t h a t this co-operation may be arranged for at no very distant date. In the meantime a definite agreement has been made between the Universities of Melbourne and Adelaide w i t h the approval of the University of Tasmania for t h e conduct ot joint examinations in Victoria, South
