TOAST OF ALMA MATER The President, in proposing the toast of our Alma Mater, sald:-
Gentlemen, in wubmitting the toast of our Alma Mater, I wish to say that, to all those who have left its portals to enter the arena of life. Queen's College will alway's remain a great school, and the affection which the mere mention of Its name inspires in us is largely the work of our teachers, who have a warm place in our hearts and 'to whom we are grate- ful,
Drawing upon my slender know-

Our School, with a tradition of which we are proud, with a reputation that makes it a household word in South China and with the British and Chinese staffs working hand In hand is, in itself, a striking example of the benefits Anglo-Chinese Co-operation.
