Dear People

CORRECTION!

In last week’sWeekend Update we suggested that the University of Auckland was the oldest University in New Zealand.  We were wrong.  It is the University of Otago which was founded in 1869 by an ordinance of the Otago Provincial Council. The new University was given 100,000 acres of pastoral land as an endowment and authorised to grant degrees in Arts, Medicine, Law and Music.
