The conclusion that follows from an examination of these facts is that thia Colony must accept the Hong kong University as an Integral and essential part of its education scheme and must give it that adequate support which would justify us in continuing to call it a University on the English model.

The Univer sity was to become a force in the Far East by producing qualified engineers and skilled doctors. The training of engineers and doctors is still necessary; but it is now realized that this University must do far more than impart technical and professional competcher. There must be in it teachers who But this University is not mere- are capable of interpreting the ly a colonial concern.
