The council of the senate have reported to the
senate that the grace which was approved by theo3'
and subsequently sanctioned by the senate on tile,
21st inst., for the purpose of fixing the 16th (/'
June as the day for conferring the honorary cl6l'
;rtes and reciting the prig.) exercises, was so or
proved with special reference to the intended visit
to the university of their Royal Highnesses the
Prince and Princess of Wales.

They have since understood that it would be
more agreeable to their royal highnesses to fix as
earlier period for their visit, viz,, from the 2d t°
the 4th of June, so that they may be present in the
university before the members have separated l4lt
the long vacation.
The council therefore recommend that the 12013°'
racy degrees be. conferred on June 3, and that O°
Vice-Chancellor be authorised to fix the day and
time for reciting the prize exercises.
