And another fact must be borbe in mind, Behind all the feuds which are stil dietracting Chin, there stands ever the ceaseless con- flict between the old China and and the new, between the young Chinese, who have been, educated abroad, and the Chinese of the old school, who despise the young poli- ticians. The young Chinese may bulk large in foreign eyes and in the Chinese press, which, so far as it cxists, they control; but the old school still wields immense influetico over the country as a whole. The Hong Kong University is the only educational institution in China where the reality of this conflict is understood and something is even now being done to blend the old China and the new. If this Univer- sity has up-to-date medical and cagineering schools and an faculty, which includes "a depart- ment of cormeres, it has also even now an incipient Chinese school, in which are working no less than three Hanlin, that is to say, Chi- nese scholars holding the highest academic degree given by the Manchu Emperors. It is inconceiv able that those who are to guide the destinies of the Chinese of to- morrow should be able to do so with any approach to effectiveness, if they are only ignorant, but even scornful, of Chinese history, its culture and traditions: Ian convinced that this University could, if it was provided with the Wharyes:- Kowloon President M.
