a Hostel for medical students in proximity to the hospital. Eight scholarships of $200 each were founded by the China Medical Board for medical students who shall have carried out their pre-medical studies at the Canton Christian College, the University undertaking to remit fees to the extent of $100 a year. A sum of $10,000 was presented to the University Union by the Hon. Sir C. Paul Chater, Kt., C.M.G., for the foundation of a Library in memory of the late Dr. Jordan, formerly Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Acting Vice-Chancellor in the University. A sum of $5,000 was collected for the extension and partial re-turfing of the Athletic Ground. An appeal was issued in the course of the year asking for a sum of from four million to five million dollars for the general purposes of the University.
The total cost of the land, buildings, and equipment of the University may be placed at approximately $1,750,000 and their replacement value at not less than $2,500,000, while the invested endowments exceed $3,000,000.
