VICTORIA COLLEGE,
HONGKONG, 16th February, 1892.
SIR, I have the honour to forward the Annual Report on Victoria College for the year 1891. 1. The total number of boys on the Roll of the College for the year was 1108. As 712 names were on the Roll in January, nearly 400 boys (including re-admissions) were admitted in the course of the year. Of these, 269 were admitted after the Chinese New Year holidays; 39 after Tsing Ming; 57 after Mid-summer, together with 31 at various times. The number of school days is somewhat less than in 1890, the deficiency being chiefly accounted for, by the fact that three Easter holidays did not coincide with the Tsing Ming holidays, and that so many Chinese festivals did not happen to fall on Sundays.
2. The following tables will illustrate the condition of the College during the last five years:-
