"QUEEN'S" OLD BOYS
(Continued From Page 2)
There was another factor, and it must be said that one of the past pupils of the Queen's College was made the first President of China. In the hollow of their hands, Mr. Braga continued, the Queen's Col lege boys held the destiny of Hong Kong. The biggest compradores for the biggest firms and banks were all Queen's College boys. And in medicine and law and also in arts and aciences, the Q.C. boys had taken a foremost position.
Continuing, Mr. Braga said that
he had pleasant news to break. It had come to him quite unexpectedly.
