The Hon. Stewart Lockhart said if was his pleasant duty to present to His Excellency the students who were to be honoured that day by being presented with diplomas. The first was Mr. Chan Kun Shing, who after a very brilliant career as a student of that College had obtained the diploma which entitled him to be regarded as a student who had passed through his course.. with great distinction. This student had several offers for his services waiting him at the close of his career, and had unfortunately to leave the colony to assume the duties of an appointment he had accepted in Singapore before that meeting could be arranged. His diploma, which certified that he passed his examination with great distinction," would be laid on the table fat day and forwarded to him in due course, The next student was Mr. Ho Naj Hop, who had the unique experience of finding himself free from all professional examinations six months before the close of his study. The College rigidly here to its regulation that the tainicia curriculum of study should be five years, but while Mr. Ho Nai Hop only this month completed his term of five years he suc cessfully left the last of his professional ex- aminations behind him last October, He had thus had a half-year in which to quietly review his work without the burden of examinations before him and to such special reading as had "seemed to him desirable. This must neces- sarily prove of incalculable value to his future professional usefulness. His appois ment by the Governor for medict work on the main land did him credit. While students of the College had frequently bean of service to the Government for special work during smallpox and plugue epidemics, this was the first official appointment on the permanent staff of a gra duate of the College as such."
The diplomas were then presented by the Governor.

on Ordinance do? "An. Ordinance could never give public confidence. The confidence of the Chinese could only be won by the professional success in the treatment of enses by the students who bad heen trained in that College. (Hear, hear.) He had very little doubt from the thor oughness of the training they had received that successs would be attained, and the best proof of that was their experience with regard to the Straits Settlements and that an applican tion had just been received for another student from the College. When they came to look in- to the question of Government assistance they must consider that the Governor and the men- bers of the Government of acolony like this were the trustees of the public funds, and that no Governor could off his own bat come forward. and say "You shall have so many thousand dollars, and you shall have this and that" They must go to responsible people and ask for their opinion and then think the matter over. They all realised the benefits which had been derived from the education given to these students, and the benefits which would be derived here and elsewhere by the Chinese population, but when they came to look into the question af giving a regular grant from the public funds, and beyond this, authorising a medical diploma then they found themselves in a difficulty which could not, apparently, be got over by Dr. Hei Kai, who was one of the Commissioners appointed when the matter was looked into before. He had not seen the papers, and lie did not know what had been done, but he thought there would be a dificulty in galant stop loma and starting, so to speak, a differem stan- dard here from the standard accepted all over the world as the British standard of the medical profession. Mr. Francis was pressing on this point but as well might it be said, “There are several able and elever young men in lawyer's. offices here who have had much experience in in the drafting of pleadings, &c, and who have had the advantage of hearing the brilliant forensic efforts of Mr. Francis and other lawyers: why not give them the status of barristers and allow them to practice in our courts?" He did not know how the legal pro- fession would regard such a proposal." How- ever, putting these difficulties on one side, they now came to the question which Ar. Francis put so forciby before them, and that was the question of a grant from the Government, No one could appreciate more than he did the splendid generosity of Mr. Belilios in offering this money, but he saw the difficulties ahead of [ny a MILITARY, CORRESPONDENT IN THE them if the Government granted on endowment. His Excellency called attention to the splendid services rendered gratuitously to the College up to the present time, and said that if the College became a Government Institution that would mean Government officers with the pay necessary to altmet good Government officers, and he thought they would lose a good deal of hearty co-operation which they had received up to the present. However, he could only say he sympathised most deeply with the move- ment, that he appreciated the good results which had been apparent up to now, and that he should take care to inforni himself fully of every argument which had been put forward. And, if he could see his way to do it, give any assistance which could fairly be given, on behalf of the people of this colony, by the Government towards the furtherance of the work of this admirable college of medicine in Hongkong (Applause.)...-

His Excellency, after asking his hearers to extend to him their sympathy in the difficult position in which he found himself, said he had Bistened with the greatest interest to the strong statement made by Mr. Francis in his most aloquant address, and he need hardly say that as Chairman of the Council of the College of Medicine he endorsed and approved every word spoken by him. (Hear heat.) Butas Governorhe. miglu have to consider the matter from another point of view. Nobody could value more highly than he did the benefits which had been conferred by this China College, up to the present moment, upon the Chinese, and he valued especially the generous action of the medical gentlemen connected with the colony in coming forward and for 12 years giving their services out of their love of the splendid science. of medicine and for the purpose of bringing with in the reach of their Chinese fellow-subjects, here and elsewhere the benefits of western me dicine.
