(b) a primemovers (steam) and hydraulics laboratory, at present housed in a converted pumping station, formerly the property of the Government; and
(c) A workshop, for practical instruction of students.
Electrical machinery, electrical technology, the testing of materials and experimental mechanics are dealt with in the main building.
The larger part of the engineering equipment was the gift of British engineering firms.
Other buildings upon the estate include:
(a) the Vice-Chancellor's Lodge
(b) Staff-quarters
(c) the resident hostels, and
(d) the University Union Building.
Unless exempted from residence (such exemption being ordinarily granted on the ground that the student's "manner of life" is not such as is catered for in the hostels), every matriculated student is required to reside either in a University or recognised hostel.
The University hostels are three in number-Lugard Hall, Eliot Hall and May Hall.
Recognised hostels are at present three in number-Morrison Hall, situated immediately above the University grounds and conducted by the London Missionary Society, St. John's Hall, immediately opposite the front of the University, conducted by the Church Missionary Society and Ricci Hall. This hostel, situated in the Pokfulam Road, will be conducted by the Irish Jesuits. It is to be opened in the first month of 1930.
Each student occupies a separate room or cubicle, and there are the usual common rooms. Each University hostel is in charge of a member of the staff, as resident warden.
No University hostel at present exists for women students—whose right to admission to the University was first recognised in 1921: but some arrangements for the accommodation of a few women students in a rented building have been made by the authorities of St. Stephen's Girls' College, a Church of England girls' school which is near the University. The nuns of a neighbouring Italian convent are also prepared to house a few women students.
The tuition fee is $300—the hostel fee which includes board and lodging is $300. A student who is allowed to live in a hostel during vacation—some have to because of their work, e.g. medical students, and others because their homes are too far away—pay at the rate of $8 a week. When a student joins he is required to
