The Univer- alty is, in any opinion, under an obligation to place at the disposal of all its students-women as well men-faclifties for physical training and development. With- out a gymnasium the fulfillment of this obligation is difficult.
Mr. En Tong Ben has not only built the Gymnasium; he has also equipped it. The apparatus has been ordered but it has not yet arrived. The apparatus that you saw in the Gymnasium has been kindly lent us by King's College: It has been set up to show the general location which Mr. Ru's brand-new apparatus will occupy, You will have noticed that the Gymnasium provides for a full size basketball and badminton court.
