I have the honour to inform you of the following circumstances. Early in the year 1907, when addressing the gatherings at various prize-givings at the different Schools in the Colony, I observed that I hoped that in course of time a University might be established in Hongkong as the crowning edifice of the educational system here, where Chinese could take degrees without the necessity of expatriating themselves for long periods in Europe and America.

The suggestion appealed strongly to Mr. H. M. Mody, a Parsee gentleman, who has been resident for 40 odd years in this Colony as a Stock-broker in which business he has acquired a considerable fortune. He informed me that he was willing to give a sum of $150,000 to erect University Buildings and a further sum of $30,000 towards an Endowment Fund, provided that if the cost of the Buildings should exceed the first named sum...
