UNIVERSITY'
WOMEN'S HOSTEL.
A SPLENDID CONTRIBUTION FROM SINGAPORE.
The Building fund for the much Siceded University Women's Hostel in gathering contributions slowly but surely. The total is at present 850,519.25 A third generous remit tance of $1,000 has been sent by those who are working for the fund in Singapore. The University women of England have sent £100, while from the Venerable Archdea con Barnett has been received sums "totalling £25.
The most satisfactory feature of this building fund is that the bulk of the money has been brought in by the personal efforts of University women. It has come in small sume and represents real devoted work.
The women undergraduates of H.K. University have spared no personal effort to raise money, and they have enlisted the help of their brother undergraduates. " But not only in Hong Koog are young women working for this cause, the Singapore branch has been very active as their splendid contribu tions witness. Few of the young women who have given up their time and their thought to raise this money in Hong Kong or elsewhere can hope to live in the Hostel or take their share of the very great benefits that it will have to offer to womea undergraduates. They are working not for themselves per- sonally but for the cause of women's education in China: When this building is standing it will have been built with the pennies and
halfpennies of the women studenta. Though it would be a fine thing if some philanthropic person were to come forward and give the rest of the necessary money, it will be an even finer monument, and a truer testimony to the real seed of such an institution, if it is built by the almost unaided efforts of the women studenta.
Sir Cecil Clementi's Interest.- It may be of interest-in view of this third generous contribution which has arrived from Singapore to recall what Sir Cecil Clementi.) said with reference to the bastel on the occasion of the farewell rocep tion given in the H.K.C.C. ground on January 23.
Both my wife and I said Sir Cecil; " are deeply interested in the project" for establishing.4. women's hostel at the University of Hong Kong
There were 33 women students on the roll of the University in 1929, and residential accommodations could only be ar ranged for 14. We trust that the Committee, formed under Colonel Skinner's chairmanship to raise „Iunds for building this hostel, may be successful; and we note with pleasure that two lady under- graduates of the University, while In the Straita Settlements during last long vacation, collected over 83,000 in Malaya for this fund. When we reach Singapore we will gladly do what we can to assist in the collection of further subscrip- tiona for so excellent a purpose. The fact that Singapore is not far from Hong Kong, and lies on the way from this Colony to England, encourages us to hope that we may not entirely lose touch with the schemes that have most interested us in Hong Kong, our work for which, in many cases, we must very regretfully leave unfinished."
