The Hon Dr. Ho Kai-Before we separate I wish to propose to you a cordial vote of thanks to our Chairman, His Excellency, Sir William Gascoigne. This is the second occasion within a short space of time that: His Excellency has been kind enough to come amongst us and take a prominent part in the proceedings of our Institution. Considering that he is now holding a dual office his time is so much devoted and occupied by his dalies that I think it is extremely kind indeed of him to have given us the honour of his presence to-day, "and our gratitude to him is very much deeper because we know that notwithstanding the pressure of business. bis great interest in our Institution has induced him to spare us some of his valu.

Dr. Clark-Your Excellency and gentlemen,
I have very much pleasure in proposing Mr. Francis Henry May as Rector of our College in succession to Mr. Stewart Lockhart, who, as your Excellency has said, has left the Colony. It needs no words of mine to persuade you of the qualifications of Mr. May for such an offico as this. It is one which has been held by several distinguished predecessors, and each of them has in his turn maintained the dignity and the importance of our College, and I feel sure that Mr May will equally succeed in maintaining that dignity and in furthering our interests, and the interests of the College gen. erally. The College owes already a very deep debt of gratitude to Air, May for the very great interest which he took, in our welfare when he was Acting Colonial Secretary, an interest which resulted in very material and sub stantial advantages to the College. I feel sure that the very little that I can say will not be needed, but I should just like to say that I feel sure that the interest and welfare of this Colony is very closely bound up in the welfare of the College. We have in the Colony a peculiar population population of which the bulk is not actually in contact with the rulers of the Colony, no doubt largely due to the fact that we are on the confines of one of the vastest Empires in the world, the Empire of China, and that our intercourse with China is so great that the number of strangers who are coming into our n
r midst every day is so great that the bulk of the population who reside here know neither our ideas nor our wishes, nor, in fact, our system of Government,, "I feel sure that to a large extent, particularly in my own matter of saditation in the Colony, that we must look to these qualified students of our College
go forth filled with the ideas men who which are taught in our College and men who go forth as missionaries in the true sense of the word to spread the knowledge of Western science and Westen medicine amongst their fellow compatriots in this Colony. The government of this Colony would, I am sure, be wise to use every endeavour to retain these men for that most important work. With these few words, I beg to propose the appoint ment of Mr. May as Rector of the College (applause), va ser bas
