pended beforehand in preparing all the details, plans, and every- thing from the lowest grain to the topmost pinnacle of these buildings. Wo. certainly do find it hard to realise how much the engineer's work lies behind even simple buildings such as we see being
Iri erected overywhere Hongkong. Plans, to the ordin- ary layman, are always very, com- plicated things. It is very dim- cult for us to understand all the details of a working plan You may perhaps, taking the complexi- ties of plans, remember the story of a rather, well known architect. He happened to be visiting the house of an enthusiast in new art- an enthusiast in futurist pictures. He was taken round the house and when he had gone round his host asked, "Well, which picture did you like the best!"; and he re- ferred to one and said, "By the way why do you keep a portrait of your wife in the bathroom?" The host replied, "That is not a portrait of my wife. It is a plan of the drains of the house."
His Excellency continued. "When I look round this table and see all you engineers gathered together I have a sort of feeling that I am looking upon a company of men who are engaged in a genial occupation, because there can be very few of us who have not, at some period of our lives, wanted to be engineers. When we think of the joy and pleasure which we derived from our clock- work engines, and the intense desire we then conceived to be engineers, I always feel that an engineer is a man who has, at any rate, attained his youthful ambi- tion."
In conclusion. His Excellency thanked them for inviting him to attend and for drinking his health. He said he had enjoyed himself very much, and wished the Institu- tion every success.
Presentation to Mr. Stokes.
In calling upon His Excellency to present Mr. W. J. Stokes with an address, a discharge certificate, and "some tangible recognition from us for himself and Mrs. Stokes," the chairman said that Mr, Stokes had been a member for 27 years. He had been on the committee of the Institution since 1921. In 1927 he was Vice- President and in 1929 President, a record to be proud of Tap plause). The chairman referred to the work that Mr. Stokes had done as librarian, making the library one of the best in the Colony.
