Matriculation and Local Exums.

On the Matriculation and local examinations held in 1928, the Uni- versity spent $16,208,56, while it re- ceived by way of fups, $26,792. Thus the University made a proft of $10.683.34. This is all right as far as it goes, but the conduct and management of these examinations, which are held at various centres. ant only in China. but also in Malaya aad in Java, imposes a con- siderable strain on the University office staff and on those professors

and lecturers who set and examine the papers. The University would

be justiñed in appointing a special officer to manage and control these examinations, but if this were done, a substantial source of its income would be annihilated. The Univer sity can not afford to dispense with this source of inconce, but it is not in the best interests of the institu- tion, that the University staff should have to devoto so much time and thought to this work. British universities and others conduct school examinations, but a special whole-time staff is invariably em- ployed for this purpose.

Number of Students

The number of students on the rolls on December 31, 1928, was 309 of whom 38 were women. Six- teen of the women students were in the Medical, and 22 were in the Arts Faculty. The number of students

in each Faculty was:-

ROBBERS WITH KNIVES

At about 11 o'clock yesterday morning, three Chinese armed with kilves entered the servants' quarters, of the flat occupied by Mr. van Goessan, on the third floor of No. 4, Grauville-road, Kowloom.

Two attacked an amah, who re ceired a slight wound in the shoulder. The house boy WAS tickled by the other man, and re- cdred nasty cuts across three Angers. Both victims called out "Save Life" and this scared the robbers, who bolted without stealing Charles Delaney, an Irishman with anything. A blood-stained knife a green emerald humour,
