Professor Morley in the Chair
Present – Mrs Croom Robertson, Mr Busk,
Mrs F. Pollock, Miss Grove, Mrs Bennett,
Miss Kilgour, Professor Carey Foster,
Miss J. M. Browne, Miss Browne
Proposed Rules
Miss Grove, having been asked
at the previous meeting to prepare a draft
of Rules for the consideration of the
Committee, was asked to submit the
same to the meeting. Each rule was
separately discussed.
Admission of Students
With regard to the admission of students
it was decided that a formal testimonial
as to character should not be required.
In the absence of any entrance examination

it was decided, on the suggestion of Professor Morley
that "applications to the Principal for
admission to residence in the Hall must be
accompanied by a written statement of the
course of study already pursued, and of
that intended by the applicant". Rule II
Dismissal of a Student
Respecting the question of the dismissal of a student
it was suggested that the power should rest
with the Principal, Miss Grove and other
members of the Committee were opposed
to this method, considering that the
sanction of the Committee should be
obtained for any such entrence (sic) step;
the suggestion was made that the Committee
should include two members chosen by
the students as their representatives.
But as the representation of students
was too large a question to consider without

special notice, the point under discussion was decided in the following
way: that the Principal "shall have power,
with the sanction of the Committee, to request
any student to withdraw". Rule X
It was moved by Mrs F. Pollock
and seconded by Mr Crown Robertson
that the Rules which had been discussed
and revised be accepted; this was
carried unanimously.
