It is understood that Professor Simpson's report should be forwarded to this Government before his departure from the Colony, which has been postponed till the end of June.\n\n2. It is obviously desirable that the local Government should have an opportunity of studying the Report whilst Professor Simpson is still in the Colony and of considering and discussing with him any recommendations he may have to offer before he leaves.\n\n3. I have, therefore, instructed Professor Simpson to furnish me with his report in time to afford ample opportunity for its full consideration and discussion before he starts for England.\n\n4.

The resumption will, as is stated by the Sanitary Board, open up a very densely crowded neighbourhood and be of great benefit to the health of the neighbourhood.\n\n3.\n\nAs the plans for the re-erection of some of the houses had already been submitted to the Director of Public Works, it was necessary to take immediate action in order to prevent serious loss to the Colony in the event of resumption being decided upon at a later period. I accordingly called upon the Director of Public Works for a rough estimate of the cost of the proposed resumption, and as a result of the information so obtained, I submitted the proposed scheme to you by telegraph on the 3rd instant. After the receipt of your telegraphic messages of the 9th and 20th instant, to which I replied on the 22nd, I received from you on the 23rd instant your approval of the proposed resumption, the cost of which, according to the Director of Public Works, should not exceed $80,000.

As a matter of fact the man, so I am informed, acted as a Socialist scrutineer.\n\n\"I am astounded that such a mistake as the placing of the name of a Hindu on the list could have been made at the office of the registrar of voters. Of course the Vancouver city list is a very large one, and I presume the man's application slipped through accidentally.\n\n\"As soon as the matter was reported to me, I put the case in the hands of Crown Prosecutor McKay, instructing him to lose no time in investigating and acting if he determined that a prosecution would lie under the circumstances. Mr. McKay is at this moment searching at the office of the registrar of voters for the original application form on which Rahim swore that he was qualified as an elector in the Vancouver City electoral district.\"\n\n## RAHIM ADJOURNED ON $10,000 BAIL.\n\nHoussein Rahim, a Hindu merchant of Vancouver, was brought before Magistrate Shaw in the Police Court charged with perjury. After the charge had been stated, His Worship fixed bail at $10,000 and adjourned the case until Monday (1st April, 1912).\n\nThe detectives who made the arrest also executed a warrant of search of the effects of Rahim. To a representative of the Vancouver Daily Province, Detective Thompson said: \"We found among Rahim's papers a quantity of Industrial Workers of the World literature, also a petition signed by a number of Hindus for the removal of Mayor Findlay from office.\"\n\nRahim was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant signed by Arthur Sampson, chief of the provincial police of this city, and executed by Detectives Thompson and Levis of the city force. The warrant alleges that Houssein Rahim did on the 14th day of September, 1911, swear falsely before William E. Flumerfelt in that he was a qualified elector in the Vancouver electoral district.\n\nThe maximum penalty for conviction on such a charge is fourteen years' imprisonment.\n\n## RAHIM COMMITTED ON PERJURY CHARGE.\n\nThere was political color and an echo of the recent elections in the preliminary hearing of the charge of perjury against the Hindu, Houssein Rahim, who was committed for trial by Magistrate Shaw, on April 1st. Mr. W. M. McKay, Crown prosecutor, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. G. E. McCrossan for the accused.\n\n| Name | Role |\n| --- | --- |\n| Mr. Geo. D. McKay | Registrar of Voters |\n| Mr. W. E. Flumerfelt | Commissioner for taking affidavits |\n| Detective Thompson | Detective who arrested Rahim |\n| Mr. William Hopkinson | Dominion immigration officer and Hindu interpreter |\n\nMr. Geo. D. McKay, Registrar of Voters, admitted placing Rahim's name on the list from an affidavit signed by Mr. Flumerfelt, whom he knew to be a commissioner duly appointed for taking affidavits under the Provincial Elections Act. He said he had no suspicion in placing the name on the list, as there were Russian and other foreign names somewhat like it, and where you had between 20,000 and 25,000 names to deal with, it was impossible to scrutinize each closely.\n\n\"So you let this name pass?\" said Mr. McCrossan. \"Yes, I did.\" \"Well, I am not blaming you,\" said Mr. McCrossan. \"It is the system.\"\n\nMr. W. E. Flumerfelt admitted that the signature attached to the affidavit was his. \"And did this Hindu, Houssein Rahim, appear before you on this occasion?\" asked Mr. McKay. \"No,\" said the witness, \"he never appeared before me at all. I think somebody has tried to play me and get this application in. I suppose in looking over the papers as I do each evening before placing them in the vault I found that this had been slipped into my papers, and I, glancing over it, thought, 'This has escaped me. I do not see how I have forgotten it, and I had better sign it up.'\"\n\nDetective Thompson said he had arrested Rahim. When he had given him notice of it, he had said, \"there was nothing to it, and it would be the best boost ever given to the cause.\" \"But you did find a great deal of Socialistic literature?\" said Mr. McKay. \"It is no crime to be a Socialist,\" said Mr. McCrossan.\n\nMr. William Hopkinson, Dominion immigration officer and Hindu interpreter, said that Rahim had come to Vancouver from Honolulu on the S.S. Moana in January, 1910. He had represented himself as a tourist going through to Montreal and New York, and had been allowed to land. Two months later, he saw him again, and he told him that he had completed his trip to Montreal, and was returning. Rahim said he was born in Delhi, India. He spoke three Indian languages: Hindustani, Punjabi, and Gujerati.\n\nMr. McCrossan said he had no desire to make political capital out of the case, nor, he was sure, had his learned friend. His client was simply being tried on a criminal charge, and he contended that there was no evidence that would justify even a committal for trial. All the evidence they had that the accused was a Hindu was the statement that he had been born in India, but that no more made him a Hindu than being born in England made a man an Englishman.\n\nMr. McKay promptly produced the interpretation of \"Hindu\" under the Elections Act: \"Any person born in India, not of Anglo-Saxon parents.\" Mr. McCrossan said that anyhow the charge of perjury must fail, because it had never been proved that his client had been sworn before the commissioner. On the other hand, they had the direct testimony of the commissioner himself that he never had been sworn.\n\nAfter some further argument, Magistrate Shaw said that he must commit the accused for trial.\n\n## THE WHITE MAN'S TITLE DEEDS.\n\nThat ancient theory of the equality of mankind receives a rude jolt when people talk of keeping this \"a white man's country.\" Australia is doing the same. In South Africa, once a black man's country, the new white people are raising the same banner. Where did these white men get their title deeds?\n\nToday, Mr. Stevens, the member for Vancouver in the Dominion House, warns Eastern Canada against sympathizing with the desire of the Sikhs to bring in their wives and children. He says that no man who supports this request can be elected a pound-keeper in the province of British Columbia. But who gave the whites the title deeds of Alberta and British Columbia, or any other settled or unsettled portion of the earth?\n\nThe Earl Dudley, late Governor-General of Australia, points out that in Australia four and a half million people control three million square miles of territory, and refuse to admit the people who are not absolutely white. He questions their ability to successfully maintain that position should Great Britain once cease to control India and the peace of the East. Apparently, he foresees a time when the white population will be asked to show their title deeds.\n\nIf Great Britain finds the Sikhs the most valuable portion of the Indian army, why shouldn't Canada, Australia, and South Africa bring in a certain number of these big men from the Punjab to help defend the title deeds? They have proved themselves loyal, courageous, exemplary under discipline. They would add much to the defensive forces of the different Dominions. There are only two millions of them in the Punjab, and the surplus there will not allow many for each Dominion, but even a few would help. Moreover, it would show that Canada is limiting oriental immigration on moral and national grounds rather than on a mere colour prejudice. It would be at least a partial justification of our Christian principles and our interest in foreign missions. *The Canadian Courier*.\n\n## 'TIS A DIVINITY THAT SHAPES OUR ENDS ROUGH HEW THEM HOW WE WILL.\n\nReferring to the case of Mrs. Bhag Singh and Mrs. Bawant Singh and their children, who are under orders for deportation, Prof. Teja Singh has written the following letter to a Vancouver paper:\n\n\"The calumnies and the direct and indirect lies uttered about the Sikh have for the time being produced the result that the manufacturers of these stories aimed at. But such a success is always ephemeral, as all race prejudice ultimately reacts upon those who are moved by it.\n\nFor the experience of India and all other nations has shown that those communities or nations who, being blinded by some external superiority of color, social, political, or economic position, begin ostracizing other peoples as barbarians, savages, or undesirables, are ultimately overwhelmed by those very races whom they looked down upon.\n\nThe ancient Aryans of India when they became so narrow-minded were ultimately conquered by those very people whom they called the Malechhas (the untouchables and the impious); the civilized Romans overrun by the barbarians at whom they sneered; and the Persians by the nomadic Turks whom they styled as rude and illiterate freebooters.\n\nThus has the divine law, which is slowly and steadily bringing all the races together for enabling them to acquire a real spirit of charity and brotherhood, always broken the pride of those who, blinded by their material power and superficial civilization, have worked against the marching tide of human atonement.\n\nHistory is repeating itself on an immensely larger and broader scale, and the Dominion of Canada, the U. S. A., and the Southern Republics of America are destined to be the meeting place of all the races of the world.\n\nThe tidal waves of racial union are part of a great world movement, and any artificial barriers... \n## Page 612", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-433 - Governor Sir May - 1916 [5-6].txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 500041, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-488 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1925 [1-7]", "page_number": 445, "title": "CO129-488 - Governor Sir Stubbs - 1925 [1-7]", "content_text": "## 7.

To-day, it occupies an increasingly important position in the eyes of the world mainly by virtue of the fact that time has tested and proved the efficacy of its teaching.\n\nYesterday afternoon's Twentieth Congregation and conferment of degrees presented an unusually animated scene. The lawn adjoining the tennis courts of the University was thronged by a representative gathering of leading members of the European and Chinese communities who fraternised to the accompaniment of music played by the band of the King's Own Scottish Borderers and the rattle of teacups.\n\nThe Chancellor (His Excellency the Governor, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G.) and the Vice-Chancellor of the University (Mr. W. W. Hornell, C.I.E.), gave prominence to many points of interest in addresses which were, as usual, of very great interest to all educationalists. Of special importance was the Governor's plea for the Chinese and English peoples to make greater efforts to study and understand each other's physical, mental, and spiritual aspirations in order that perfect accord and unanimity in the ideals and aims of both nations could result.\n\nAN IMPOSING PROCESSION.\n\nTo the impressive strains of Mancinelli's march, \"Cleopatra,\" a procession of some length filed into the Great Hall at 5 p.m. The congregation remained standing until His Excellency the Governor, in the black and gold robes of the Chancellor, declared the Congregation opened for the conferring of degrees.\n\nTHE PROCESSION.\n\nThe procession presented an imposing spectacle and was formed as follows:-\n\nHis Excellency the Chancellor, The Mace Bearer,\n\nThe Vice-Chancellor and The Hon.

Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G., Chairman.\n\nSir William Hornell, C.I.E.\n\nProf. L. T. Ride, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine.\n\nProf. M. H. Roffey, D.S.O., Dean of the Faculty of Engineering.\n\nProf. W. Faid, Dean of the Faculty of Arts.\n\nProf. R. K. M. Simpson, M.C.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, Kt.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. R. H.

Thomas Tam.\n\nMr. Lam Tung.\n\nMr. W. B. Finnigan (Secretary).\n\nThe death on the 2nd August, 1931, of Mr. Fung Ping Shan robbed the Committee of one of its most valuable members. Mr. A. H. Fenwick was later added to the Committee.\n\nThe Committee has held four meetings at two of which oral evidence was given by witnesses recommended to the Committee as persons who were qualified to help the Committee in its deliberations. Shortly before his death, Mr. Fung Ping Shan had submitted a written statement of his views. This statement was one of the first documents circulated to members of the Committee. In order to facilitate the consideration of the nature and complexity of the problem before the Committee, the Vice-Chancellor drew up a memorandum on the past history and present position of Chinese teaching in the University. In this memorandum, it was pointed out that Section 13 (1) of the University Ordinance enacts that \"there shall be faculties of Medicine, Engineering and Arts, and such other Faculties as may be constituted by the Council, subject to the approval of the Court; that in the Arts Faculty due provision shall be made for the study of the Chinese language and literature.\"\n\nII. History of the Faculty of Arts up to its reorganisation as the result of the University Commission of 1920.\n\nThe University was formally opened by His Excellency Sir Frederick Lugard (now Lord Lugard) on the 11th March, 1912. It was at first decided that only two faculties should be created, namely, the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering. The foundation of the Faculty of Arts was to have been postponed until more funds were available, but ... Medicine and Engineering originally regarded as having the first claim on the University's resources.\n\nOn\n\nPage 350\n\n \n\n(no text here, as original text indicated a page number)\n\n(no text here, as original text indicated a page number)\n\n(no text here, as original text indicated a page number)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-538-2 Hong Kong University 23-6-1932 - 15-3-1933.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 580782, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-593-5 Rehabilitation of Hong Kong University.

O'Connor (Acting Director of Education and Chairman); Hon. M.K. Lo; Dr. the Hon. S.N. Chau; Mr. A. el Arculli; Rev. George She; Prof. R.K.M. Simpson; Rev. R.W. Gallagher, S.J.; Miss E.S. Atkins; Rev.

Wilson (Acting Secretary).\n\nThe Chairman tendered apologies to Father Gallagher who had been sent no notice of the previous meeting because, mistakenly, he was thought to be absent from the Colony.\n\nParagraph 10 of the minutes of the last meeting (25th March, 1948) was amended to read \"The question of an increase in Government school fees was discussed but no vote was taken\". The minutes of the last meeting were then approved.\n\nA schools attendance report for April was laid on the table.\n\nThe desirability of any changes in the Grant Code was considered by the Board. The attached letter from the Chairman of the Grant Schools Council had been circulated to members before the meeting.\n\nAt the request of the Chairman, Mr. L.G. Morgan outlined the various codes under which schools had been aided from 1924 to the present.\n\nRev. Father Gallagher spoke in favour of continuing the present grant on the grounds that it secured salaries for teachers in schools with low fees and that it should be given a longer trial, as proposed when it was first introduced before any changes were considered.\n\nMr. Goodban believed that a block vote code would give school managers more freedom of action and encourage initiative.\n\nRev. George She wished amendments to be made in the present code to preserve the individuality of the schools receiving grants.\n\nProf. Simpson, Dr. the Hon. S.N. Chau and Mr. Arculli also spoke in favour of continuing the present code with minor amendments to facilitate its working from the schools' and Government's points of view.\n\nRev. George She on the question of control in Repairs and Building suggested that the appointment of a School Buildings Officer should be considered.\n\nAfter further discussion regarding the working of the Code, the Hon. M.K. Lo proposed the resolution \"In the opinion of this Board there should be no change in the structure of the existing Code apart from minor amendments that may be necessary to effect smoother working\".\n\nThis resolution was seconded by Prof. Simpson and approved by the Board with 14 in favour.\n\nIn the discussion all speakers stressed that security for the teachers must be assured.\n\nIn a discussion in which all members participated, the Board discussed fully the desirability or otherwise of increasing Government school fees, and then passed without dissent the following resolution which was proposed by the Hon. M.K. Lo and seconded by Dr. the Hon. S.N. Chau\n\n\"It is the opinion of this Board that it is not desirable to raise fees in Government schools.\n\nThe meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m.", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-603-2 Education Department- revised grant code 5-4-1948 - 6-1-1949.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 }, { "id": 598003, "series_id": 27, "series_slug": "histsyn-co129-engine", "series_title": "CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案", "series_use_hku_proxy": false, "document_key": "CO129-625-3 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1950) 1-1-1950 - 31-1-1951", "page_number": 165, "title": "CO129-625-3 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1950) 1-1-1950 - 31-1-1951", "content_text": "SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST, THURSDAY, MARCH\n\n'VARSITY CONGREGATION NEW BUILDING\n\nDEGREES CONFERRED\n\nImpressive Ceremony In War-Scarred, Roofless Great Hall\n\nFIRST SINCE LIBERATION\n\nIn the war-scarred, roofless Great Hall of Hong Kong University yesterday, the first official Congregation since the liberation was held in the presence of a large and distinguished gathering. His Excellency the Governor and Chancellor, Sir Alexander Grantham, conferred forty degrees, many of which were wartime. Three awards were posthumous.\n\nUNIVERSITY MACE\n\nDr L. T. Ride, Vice-Chancellor, in his speech at the University Congregation yesterday, referred to the Mace which was stolen from the University library in February, 1945. The makers had been traced, he said, and a photograph had been taken of a newspaper cutting which depicted the Mace. An exact replica, he added, would cost $10,000.\n\nDuring tea, after the official opening of the new School, Mr Leung Yew promised Dr Ride a donation of $10,000 towards the cost of the Mace, it is learned. Mr Leung took part in the official Procession at the Congregation.\n\nfine arts, and music has place within our academic walls\n\nFor years we have been all too conscious of this formidable list of deficiencies, and before the war my predecessor Dr Sloss started the huge task of dealing with it. With renewed and amazing vigour he tackled it again after the war, and largely as the result of this, plus the keenness and enthusiasm of our present staff, I am optimistic enough to predict that before the next Congregation...\n\nArchitecture School Opened\n\nBY GOVERNOR\n\nFollowing the Congregation at the University yesterday, His Excellency the Governor, with the turn of a gold key, opened the new Duncan Sloss School of Engineering and Architecture in Pokfulam Road.\n\nThe building, which is very simple and neat, is of three floors with the basement used for hydraulics. The ground and first floors are for engineering and the top for architecture.\n\nMessrs Harry Way and G.A.V. Hall, the architects, were introduced to His Excellency.\n\nOn view in the various rooms were exhibits which included a model of the proposed new Ho Tung Hall for a women's hostel, the Henry Yeung collection, some objects of Chinese art from the University Museum, a bas-relief bust of Dr Duncan Sloss and a model plan of the University grounds.\n\nVisitors inspected the building and tea was served.\n\nThe Band of 3 Commando Brigade, R. M., rendered a programme of appropriate selections both at the Congregation and at the opening ceremony.\n\nIn the course of his address, the Vice-Chancellor, Dr L. T. Ride, said that whatever our creed, whatever our standard of learning, \"surely in this year of grace 1950 it is to the advantage of humanity as a whole that there should remain in the Far East yet one institution of higher learning where freedom of thought still exists, where freedom of expression is not at the mercy of any one political party and where freedom to choose one's beliefs remains unthreatened by an iron fist or untrammelled by a curtain, be it of iron or bamboo. That is the justification of a British University in Hongkong.\"\n\nSeated on the dais on His Excellency's right were Dr L. T. Ride (Vice-Chancellor), Mr Malcolm Macdonald (Visiting Chancellor from Malaya), Prof. S. M. Banfill (Dean of Medicine), Prof. R. K. M. Simpson (Dean of Arts), Lt-Gen Sir E. C. Robert Mansergh, the Hon. R. R. Todd, Bishop Valtorta, the Hon B. C. K. Hawkins, the Hon D. F. Landale, the Hon T. N. Chau and the Hon E. A. Boyce. On the Governor's left were the Hon Sir Arthur Morse, Prof. F. A. Redmond (Dean of Engineering), Prof. D. F. Davies (Dean of Science), Mr B. Mellor (Registrar), Bishop Follows, the Hon C.G.S. Follows, the Hon S. N. Chau, the Hon Sir Man-kam Lo and Dr the Hon I. Newton. Also on the dais were members of the Court and Senate and senior Staff members.\n\nIn the front row of the audience sat Lady Grantham, Lady Morse, Prof. Edwards, Miss Dorothy Ride, Mrs Scott, Mrs Banfill, Mrs Redmond, Mr Cassels, Mr C. J. R. Dawson, ADC, and Capt J. Baker, ADC.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor with Dr L. T. Ride, Vice-Chancellor (left) and Mr G. A. V. Hall, architect (right) after opening the new Duncan Sloss School of Engineering and Architecture. — (Staff Photographer).\n\nDr Ride, addressing the gathering, said: This is the 38th Congregation of our University, and the first official Congregation held in this building since May, 1941. It is customary on these occasions for the Vice-Chancellor to review the salient activities of the University since its Congregation last met; but nine years is a large proportion of the life of a University barely 40 years old, so I do not propose to-day to attempt to cover in detail the vicissitudes of the University during all that period. I shall confine my remarks in the main to what I consider the most outstanding and supremely important outcome of the trial of war.\n\nI believe that from this veritable test of fire this University has emerged, firmly established in its own right, as an integral, permanent and valuable, though small, part of the community of Hongkong; and I believe it has attained this status not merely through the wise deliberations of the influential citizens who serve on its governing bodies, but through the solid achievements of those trained within its walls.\n\nA university presents to its members a way of life, and we in the British Empire believe that our way of life, founded on Christian principles, has something to offer to perplexed humanity. If ever the world needed it, it needs it now, as Osbert Sitwell has said: \"Of wolf-and-buffalo politics, where to howl over your prey is to be realistic, where to bellow is to prove strength, and to whine is to show grace: the world in which we sull—but only just—survive: the world in which the sabre-toothed tiger and the ant are each paragons and the butterfly is doomed for its wings, which are uneconomical...\n\nBritish Way of Life\n\nThe University is here, not to force any particular political, religious, social, economical, or scientific beliefs on its students, but to make available to those who so choose, the advantages they may find in the British way of life and learning.\n\nWhen we start talking about standards of University degrees, we are on very debatable ground. In general, no standards are laid down; a university fixes its own, but in some of the professions there are definite standards; for example, in medicine a very rigid standard is set for the protection of the public by a statutory body known as the General Medical Council.\n\nIn engineering, there is no such legal yardstick, but each year standards are checked by the Department sending the examination papers to London University for assessment by their professors.\n\nThe Fine Arts\n\nBut in the other sciences and the arts we have no such outside help, and the departments concerned are more at the mercy of local university conditions, mainly financial.\n\nIt is only fair to the citizens of the Colony that claims for assistance in the higher education of its people should receive equal consideration by the Colonial Office with the claims from other colonies.\n\nDr Ride continued, \"We have never lacked critics. I admit here and now, without shame, that in those years just prior to the war, our final year students were of their number: I often asked myself: 'What useful purpose do we serve here in Hong Kong.' My head wagged in unison with those who doubted whether we were fulfilling any really useful purpose in this community, whether the result of our efforts was worth the outlay.\n\nAbundance of Critics\n\nIn this, as in other things, it is fortunate that we have had the guidance of our academic and administrative staff, and further, the solid achievements of those trained within our walls.\n\nThe University has therefore made application to the Colonial Office for an allocation from the sum set aside under the Colonial Development and Welfare Act 1945. Our request was placed before the Inter-University Council for Higher Education in the Colonies for their recommendations.\n\nIt is expected that these visitors will arrive in the very near future.\n\nDr Sun Yat-sen, in a speech on February 20, 1923, said, \"It is a place where students, through close association with their teachers, learn to apply the knowledge of the past to the problems of the present and future, and thus become, by the attainment of a recognised standard of general and technical education, useful citizens of their community.\"\n\nA university exists for the benefit of the community and not merely for the instruction of a few selected individuals.\n\nIn the course of his address, Dr Ride said, \"This blue-print for a University gives the architect a very wide scope, but in other words, the instruction broadens the field for the critic. The loose usage locally of the term 'student' has recently been the subject of just comment by the Director of Education.\n\nA student is one who is matriculated in, or otherwise admitted to, an institution of higher education.\n\nThe conception we in the British Empire have of a university, like many other things British, has undergone numerous changes, some gradual, some radical, through the centuries.\n\nAt an International Conference held at Utrecht in August, 1948, the \"Role of a University\" was one of the major subjects for discussion.\n\nDr Ride said, \"I would put to you that the definition by which we should judge a university should at least be extended somewhat as follows: It is a place where students, through close association with their teachers, learn to apply the knowledge of the past to the problems of the present and future, and thus become, by the attainment of a recognised standard of general and technical education, useful citizens of their community.\"\n\n(Contd. on Page 10, Col. 2)", "txt_file_path": "txt/2diw2n4r2/CO129-625-3 Hong Kong University- rehabilitation (1950) 1-1-1950 - 31-1-1951.txt", "external_url": "", "rank": 0 } ]
