le could assure Professor Gerrard that he was going to Australia to carry out work on the Australian aboriginals and to finish off a large amount of work he still had in hand from Hongkong.
Professor Shollshear spoke in high Lerms of the University of Hongkong and its possiblities for development. He said he had often been asked the question as to what the University was wanted for in Hongkong. He always replied that he had not placed the University here, but other powers had arranged It. The question, be thought, was one which the students should seriously consider.
He predicted for the University a very great future as an imperial in- stitution. He felt that much closer relationship with other universities of the Empire was necessary, and hoped that when he was in Australia he might be able to do something to bring this about.
