Dr. Jeme Tien Yeow, a distinguished engineer in China especially in connection with railway construction. Dr. Wu Lien Teh, who, after a brilliant career at Cambridge and in medical schools in England and on the Continent, had done much useful work in China including the stamping out of the Plague epidemic in North Manchuria in 1910-11. Captain Pelliot, Military Attaché at the French Legation in Peking, who has achieved great distinction for his investigation into the archæology of Central Asia. He served with the British Army during the earlier stages of the war and was awarded the Military Cross.
Twenty-three graduates in the Faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts were then presented to the Chancellor, who conferred degrees upon them.
The Chancellor then addressed those assembled and, after the recipients of Honorary Degrees had returned thanks, declared the Congregation closed.
The ceremony was performed in a dignified manner worthy of the occasion, while the message from the President of the Chinese Republic and the presence of the Civil Governor of Kuangtung did much to enhance the reputation of the University.
