GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Statutes, as modified under Ordinance No. 7 of 1875, of the Missionary Institution at Hongkong called St. Paul's College, are published for general information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary,

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 10th January, 1876.

Statutes, as modified under Ordinance No. 7 of 1875, of the Missionary Institution at Hongkong called St. Paul's College.

PREAMBLE.

A Missionary College having been founded at Victoria, in the Island of Hongkong, principally by the pious liberality of a "Brother and Sister" and by a grant from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, aided by sums from various individual donors, and the status of the Episcopate in Hongkong having recently undergone a change which renders an alteration of the College Statutes inevitable, the following modified Statutes for the general government and internal regulation of the Institution are now promulgated in the place of the original Statutes which received the sanction of His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury upon the 15th Day of October, 1849.

FOUNDATION.

1. St. Paul's College at Victoria is primarily founded for the object of training a body of Native Clergy and Christian Teachers for the propagation of the Gospel in China according to the principles. of the United Church of England and Ireland, and under the immediate control of a Warden appointed by His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. It shall, however, be lawful to admit to the benefits of the College such Students, European as well as Native, as being edneated in conformity with the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England, shall afford, in the judgment of the Warden, the hope of their diffusing through their example and influence the blessing of Christianity and Civiliza- tion.

THE COLLEGE PROPERTY.

2. All sums of money and books already given and property of every kind hereafter to be given, transferred, or bequeathed to the purposes of the College, shall be vested, for the benefit of the said College, in the Archbishop of Canterbury and his Successors and in the Warden of the College for the time being, and in the Archbishop alone during a vacancy in the office of Warden.
