Resolutions of Senate and Faculties.
The Senate ventures to suggest that the em- ployment of graduates of this University in fuller measure in Government services in Hong Kong would enhance the prospects of similar employ- ment of our graduates in China.
(Report para. 87).(a) The Senate is of the opinion that, through the activities of under- graduate societies, through the publication of University Journals, through Alumni Associa- tions, where, as in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and elsewhere they have been established, and through the keeping of records of addresses and employ- ments in the Faculty Offices, the University does what it can to maintain touch with its graduates. The Senate believes that these links might be strengthened if there were an established routine of posting the periodical Reports of the Univer- sity to all graduates who cared to register their addresses for this purpose in the General Office.
(b) The Senate is of the opinion that a formal system of registration of graduates be inaugurated and that provision should be made in the University Ordinance for the election of representatives of registered graduates to member- ship to the Court of the University.
(Report para. 88).—(a) The Senate does not regard existing methods of recruiting as unduly stereotyped, in view of the several categories pointed out by the Committee itself.
Resolved:-
