The present is not the time to appeal for funds, but clearly here is an opportunity for the philan- thropist in our midst. We need not enumerate the good the University has done for the community here. It has turned out ment of whom the Colony might well be proud. It has set a high standard which it has maintained throughout its existence and if the advantages which it has conferred on the few who have passed through its Fortals are to be enjoyed by more people in the years to come, then 'heed should be taken of the

warning of its Vice-Chancellor.

While on the subject of the University, it is interesting to recall the remarks of Bir William Hornell upon the occasion of the celebration of Chinese Teachers' Day last week.. 1 know" he said of the school that "the" result examinations which" the University conducts are not, satisfactory and that the staff of the univérsity are not altogether satised with the capacity which those few boys and girls who come to the University possess.

of the many problems confronting the University is the fact that one fourth of its students are not staying in hostels, and it seems to us this problem will be intensided as more seek admission during the next few years. The benefits of a University education is now gen- crally appreciated and our educa- tional authorities would do well to look ahead and provide för the day when instead of a privileged few amongst those who have Matriculated entering the Univer- | insisted that these standards sity, that practically all of the several hundreds of coys and gira pasaing each year, will do 60. The Vice-Chancellor, Sir William Hornell sounds a note of warning in his Annual Report for the past year when he states: "If the demand for admisstön to the University continues to Increase, that demand can only be met by new buildings and additional staff, it would be unfortunate if the University had to refuse admission to those whom on the standards of Its rather exacting conditions (conditions which are now being made more severe) have qualified for admission into the University.

We venture to think that any suggestion to lower the existing high standard set at the Hong Kong University will be met with general disapproval and protest, The disadvantages attendant upon such a step are too obvious to be recounted here.
