Victoria Buildinge, Hongkong, just Decomber, 1909. Sir-By Resolution No. 17 paised by the Committee of the Hongkong University on December 13th, it was decided that “the tarma of the Resolution No. 1 (which laid down the amount which it was considered necessary to collect before the aracilon of the buildings. could be commenced) had been complied "to satisfaction of the commities, and

Informs me that a considerable sum is expected frota Shanghai of which at least $10,000.CAD ba"gnarhland", while a further sum of $10,000 (of which $17,000 is in band) may be anticipat ed from the Trastens of a certain Fund.
From this statement it will be sanu that the sum originally pained has been fully realized.
The total of the attached list is 51,152,164. © of which 5531,501,17 has been actually received and stands to-day at the credit of the University Fund in the Honghong and Shanghai Banking Corporation at 1% interest, and you will notice the sum of $2,000 included in the list under the heading of interest.
Wers the anime mentioned by Dr, Ho Kal added, the total fund, promised and in hand would amount to $1,379,164.00, or, at the rate of exchange assumed in the case of sterling do- nailons, viz, 1/9,- £111,9:6 178, od.
It is my intention when all these sums have bean collected to publish a list of the donors with the amount of their subscriptions,
I may observe that, allowing two years, for the building of the University, the capital sum (without further additions which may condent ly be expected) if invested at a minimum rate of 5 per cent. per annum, would yield a further sum of about $130,000 to be added to the funds at the disposal of the University before its work
