One such planner is Sir Robert Kotewall and this leads me to state our second reason for re- Joicing today. The knighthood conferred by His Majesty the King upon Sir Robert was in recognition" of a host, of public services which he rendered to this Colony. One of these services is that which Bir Robert, for the past Afteen years, has rendered to the School. For five years he presided over the meetings of the Building Committee.
Then for ten years he served as Vice-Chaffman ..of the College Coumell and laboured hard to free the School from debt. Today is the first time in ten years that he, for health reasons is prevented from attending our Prize-Olving. In onering our heartiest COTA- gratulations to Sir Robert for his well-merited honour, we wish him many more years of health, and strength to promote the welfare of this Colony,
MR. SARGENT
Thirdly, how many heads of schools can report that a member of its Council has been raised to the dignity of a Bishop? This privilege is ours in this our annus mirabilia. "We wish Mr. Bargent the Assistant Bishop-elect of Fakten a full measure of heavenly grace for his work.
Another member of our College | Council has also been honoured for i his public services. I refer to Dr. Arthur Woo whose appointment as Justice of the Peace deserves our congratulations.
A final reason for jubilation lles the fact that this is the second successive year in which we have | secured a 100 per cent list of mic- cesses in the Hong Kong Univer- alty Matriculation Examinations.
