the Colony has, I feel sure, the endorsement of everyone
who is here this afternoon.
In January last I received a personal letter
from the Rector of the Imperial College of Science and
Technology in London. The purport of his letter is "We
have got one ofyour students who shows considerable
promise.
Why can you not send us some more?"
University's Achievement.
One of our Engineering graduates is, I hope,
going to the College this year, and I am proud to be able
to tell you, that the Governing Body of the Imperial
College have accepted the B. Sc. degree in Engineering
of this University, which means that an engineering
graduate of Hong Kong can present himself for the Diploma
of Imperial College, after one year's post-graduate work
in the City and Guilds College in London.
The Liverpool School of Architecture has
approached us spontaneously in the same spirit. Two of
cur ex-students are now in that School and Professor
Reilly, the Roscoe Professor of Architecture in the
University of Liverpool writes of one of them:
"He is exactly the type of man that I should
like to have. In addition to his knowledge of
engineering he is a man of taste with considerable
powers of design. Indeed his good taste shows in
everything he says and does."
"Send us more of your men" is Professor Reilly's
appeal. "I would always reserve places for them."
