# THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG
The University of Hong Kong was incorporated under a local University Ordinance, 1911, and opened in 1912. It is a residential University and open to students of both sexes.
The late Sir Hormusjee Mody bore the entire expense of the erection of the main building, and additions have been made through the liberality of benefactors of varied nationality and domicile. The latest addition to the buildings is a workshop built out of a contribution from Sir Robert Ho Tung.
The annual income of the University now amounts to about $574,000, of which about $315,000 comes from endowments and $50,000 from Government. Messrs. Butterfield and Swire gave £40,000 to the original endowment fund, and subsequently $100,000 for engineering equipment. The Rockefeller Institution has endowed the University with three chairs in surgery, medicine, and obstetrics, the endowment being in each case $250,000.
The expenditure for the year 1928 amounted to $542,700.
