at the invitation of the Governor, Mr. Lau Chu-pak was honoured with a private con- ference with His Excellency at Government House yesterday.

(b) In reply to the question as to the value of degrees to be conferred, it was decided to reply as follows it is most certainly our object to make the degrees of equal value and as widely and fully recognised as those granted by English Universities. To achieve this the standard must be the same. The present College of Medicine, of course, doas, not attempt ach a standard, beacs its degrees are not recognised even here in Hongkong as aatitling the holder to practise as a fully quali. fied medical practitioner.
