12. The late Sir Hormusjee Mody bore the entire expense of the erection of the main building. Additions have been made through the liberality of benefactors of varied nationality and domicile. The latest addition to the buildings is a School of Chinese Studies, the cost of which was borne by Mr. Tang Chi Ngong, a local Chinese merchant and banker.
13. The annual income of the University for 1930 amounted to about $892,000, of which about $290,000 was derived from endowments and $390,000 from Government. Messrs. John Swire & Sons Ltd. gave £40,000 to the original endowment fund and subsequently $100,000 for engineering equipment. The Rockefeller Institute has endowed the University with three chairs in surgery, medicine, and obstetrics, the endowment being in each case $250,000. The Government Grant was increased in 1930 from $90,000 to $390,000 to enable the University to meet its increased financial obligations due mainly to the fall in exchange. The annual expenditure in 1930 amounted to about $846,000.
14. The University included the three faculties of Medicine, Engineering, and Arts. Admission to all faculties is conditional upon passing the matriculation examination of the University or some examination recognized as equivalent thereto.
15. The Faculty of Medicine provides a six-year course of study in the usual pre-medical and medical sciences, leading to the degree of M.B. and B.S. The degrees of M.D. and M.S. are awarded on examinations but are subject to the proviso that every candidate for the degree shall produce evidence of special post-graduate experience in the subject which he presents. The degrees above mentioned are recognized by the General Medical Council for registration in Great Britain.
16. The Faculty of Engineering provides a four-year course in practical and theoretical engineering, leading to the degree of B.Sc. (Eng.). Fourth-year students specialize in civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering. The degree for post-graduate work is that of M.Sc. (Eng.).
17. The Faculty of Arts includes departments of pure arts and science, social science, commerce, and a department for training teachers. The course is in all cases one of four years and leads to the degree of B.A. The degree for post-graduate work is that of M.A.
18. With a view to securing the maintenance of the desired standard—which is in all three faculties that of British University degree—external examiners are, in all faculties, associated with the internal examiners in all final examinations. In the Faculty of Engineering, but not in other faculties, degrees with honours are granted, the standard being assessed by special examiners chosen from amongst the external examiners in the University of London.
19. The degree of LL.D. is granted honoris causa.
