The question whether a Univer sity education was necessary for success in commerce was, dealt with by Prof. R. Robertson last night, in a comprehensive address which was delivered in the Assam- entitled "Commercial Education," bly Room of the Hongkong Univer sity.
Prof, Robertson said his address was not exactly in the nature of a lecture but more of a general talk on the subject of commercial education. Connected as the au- dience was with the University of Hongkong they should be in terested in education, and as most of them were in the Law Society, they should be interested in com- merce.
