-VIEWS OF MR. T'SO.

In the course of his speech at the Budget Debate in the Legislative Council on October 18, the Han. Mr. Chow Shou-son said:-

Arising out of the item "Grant in Aid or University of Hong- kong" under the same Main Head, I wish to dwell upon a very important question affecting that institution. From time to time certain prominent Chinese residents, and lately a member of the University staff, have ex- pressed to both my Chinese the colleague and view that it

to the benefit of that institution if it could be removed to a tora secluded and salubrious spot on the Island. The Honourable Mr. Pollock has in his speech rough ly outlined a scheme which looka to the Unofficial Members to be practicable; and it only remains for me to add that the hostels, or some of then, when vacated by the University students; would make very suitable quarters for Government Servants. As stated by Mr. Pollock, the Governmest cannot be expected to pro nounce, here and now, a definite 'opinion; but it is hoped that they will give to it the careful con sideration which it deserves.

In the full belief that Mr. S. W. Ts'o, through whose efforts the majority of the funds for the Uni versity were raised, and who was in the confidence of the founders, would be able to throw some light on the sudden suggestion that the Present site was unsuitable, a China Mail representative obtained an interview. While Mr. Ts'o said he was himself unable to advance any sound reason for the removal of the University, he acknowledged of the community anxious for a that there appeared to be a section change of site.

FEAR OF BAD INFLUENCE. "Some people thought," he co- tinued, "that the site chosen was too near to Shektong-tsui and that a University, as a Seat of Learning, should not be near any place whence bad influence might arise.
