The portrait of Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., late Governor of Hong Kong, and ex-, Chancellor of Hong Kong University was unveiled in the Great Hall of the University by His. Excellency Sir William Peel, K.B.E., C.M.G., in the presence of a large and distinguished gather- ing of local residents,
The Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, in asking the Governor to unveil the portrait, said that Sir Cecil Clementi will ever remain in the memory of the Chinese as a real friend and as a ruler, who aimed at fundamental things, and achieved them, for the good of the people.
After the unveiling of Sir Cecil's portrait, His Excellency the Governor was asked by Mr. W. W. Hornell to open the biological laboratory of the University. Mr. Hornell referred to the generosity of friends which had made it possible to extend the activities of the Uni versity. He particularly mentioned the gift of 830,000 made recently by Mr. Kwok Siu Lau
His Excellency the Governor, prior to opening the new biological laboratory, said that he felt sure the Chinese with their keen interest in things educational will never allow the University to contract or go back. He appealed to those who could afford to do so, to follow the example of generosite set by Mr. Kwok Siu' Lau.
