THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH JANUARY, 1876.

THE WARDEN.

3. The present Warden of the College is the Right Reverend JOHN SHAW BURDON, Bishop: he may resign his office by letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury: and may be removed at any time by writing under the hand of the Archbishop. The Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being shall have the nomination and appointment of all future Wardens: and the Wardens so appointed may resign their office by letter as aforesaid, and may in like manner be removed at any time by writing under the hand of the Archbishop.

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE COLLEGE.

4. The Government and entire control of the College is vested in the Warden, except so far as any jurisdiction or authority may be by him delegated to a Sub-Warden or others. Upon questions of grave importance, a reference may nevertheless be made to the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose decision shall be final. The Warden shall forward to the Archbishop Annual Reports of the progress of the College, and of the state of the Buildings, Funds, and other property.

TUTORS.

5. The course of instruction shall be carried on under the superintendence of the Warden by Tutors, English and Chinese-the former to be in Holy Orders or at least Communicants of the Church of England. All such offices as that of Sub-Warden or Tutor are in the appointment of the Warden. The stipend of such Officers shall be defrayed from the Funds of the College, or from any endowment specially contributed for their support, assisted by such payments for tuition as the Students may hereafter be expected to contribute or by such annual grants as the local British Government or any Public Society may be willing to make.

THE STUDIES.

6. The course of Education shall ordinarily comprise the usual branches of instruction in Lan- guages, Literature, Science, Divinity and Sacred History, together with the study of the language and literature of China.

ALTERATION OF THE STATUTES.

7. Inasmuch as occasion may arise in future years for altering the Statutes of the College and for providing a more detailed system of Statutes than is now necessary, it shall be lawful for the Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being in conjunction with the Warden of the College from time to time to alter and repeal the existing Statutes of the College and to frame new, Statutes if they think fit, either in addition to, or in substitution for, any Statutes then in force.

In pursuance of the powers vested in us by "St. Paul's College Ordinance, 1875," we have modified the existing Statutes of the College in manner above appearing: and we do declare that the Statutes above written are the Statutes of St. Paul's College, and that they shall continue so to be until altered in manner hereinbefore prescribed.
