THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1930.
H.E. THE GOVERNOR AT THE UNIVERSITY.
WELCOME TO UNION'S NEW PATRON YESTERDAY.
A tea party in honour of Sir William Peel (Patron of the Hongkong University Union) and Lady Peel was given by the under- graduates of the University yester. day afternoon, when His Excel- loney had an opportunity of meet- ing the students.
On arrival His Excellency and Lady Peci, who were accompanied by Mr. G.W.A. Tufton (Private Secretary), were met by Mr. Chung Hok-nang (president of the Union) and Mr. W. W, Hornell (Vice Chancellor of the Univer- sity) together with aeveral other well-known local residents.
After a photograph had been taken, the party adjourned to the Great Hall, where tea was served.
Mr. Chung Hok-nang said that it was his happy duty, on behalf of the members of the Hongkong University Union, to bid the Governor and Lady Peel a hearty welcome to the University (ap- plause). Before he said anything further he felt that he should apologise to His Excellency for not having welcomed him earlier in the year. The reason was that His Excellency's arrival in Hong- kong coincided with the long
all summer vacation when
the students were away from the University. At the beginning of the term in September there were meetings, socials and other fune- tions, and it was thought only right to conclude their routine affairs so that they might have more leisure to make the acquain- tance of their new Patron (applause).
The speaker could assure Sir William that the students had been looking forward to the meeting (applause). The Hongkong Un iversity was very fortunate in that it had the Governor of the Colony as its Chancilor, but it was still more fortunate that the Union had the head of the Colony as its own head.

Referring to the expectation of sympathy for their needs, the speaker went on to mention that Sir Cecil Clementi, their past Patron, in spite of his manifold duties as Governor, had secured for them part of the funds of the Boxer Indemnity which their Vice Chancellor, Mr. Hornell, had labour- ed so hard to get for the develop-

In conclusion, Mr. Chung thank- ed His Excellency and Lady Peci for the honour they had done the students by their presence.
In reply, His Excellency said humorously that he was not going to make a speech. After the wave of eloquence which had flooded over him on Monday, he was entitled to take a rest. He would like to say that the standard of eloquence of the Union's President was well worthy of the Chamber where they had the debate and he hoped the day might come when he would adorn it.
