And then again I have been thinking of one of the first epcout days of this school, which I attend- ed. It was in 1921, or 1929, I think. As I reinober, it, it was held in the Chinese Y.M.C.A, and there, in' n play, the girls and younger women of China were represented e knocking at the doors of Hong Kong University asking for admit- lance. As against that, I think of the last Degree Day in Hong Kong.

All this to my mind: represents real'.advance Persona]-
