The Bishop of Victoria, the Right Rev. C. R. Duppay, presided aver the gathering, others present including Dr. S..W. Ta'o, Mr. Chau Tsunnin, Mr. W. L. Pattonden, Mr. Li Hoi-tung and Professor Lai Chaihef.

In his address, the Bishop said, in part:

I feel that we have reached an important stage in the develop- ment of this College and there are a few words I should like to address to you this morning in my capacity as patron of St. Stephen's Boys' College.

"Schools and colleges should be guides to the life of men; they should add to the life of the world be miniatures of the world that is to be. As I think of the St. Stephen's of the future. I think of a school in which ideals which will be wrought out in life will be formed and here I am remind ed of how the author of Tom Brown's School Days' went back to Rugby fifty years after he, him self, had left school, and in his address to the boys' began, by re- ciling what the sixth form in his day (Arnold's Sixth) had done in life. I know of no greater inspiza tion than that.

Large Vision.

"I think of a school in which nothing shall be cramped; in which spaciousness shall be the keynote; a school with its playing fields where boys shall learn to play the game; a school, such as one I know, with its Temple of Vision where shall be illustrated the achievements and progress of Man; where boys can go and be Ailent; whare boys shall learn to take a wide view of life, and shall gu forth to contribute something that shall count in the life of man- kind. A school, I would like to think, with a junior as well as a senior department; a boarding school where character shall be shaped and from which boys will pass in a regular succession to the University as well as to other walks of life.
