The Rev., W. H, Hewitt came to the Colony about 18 years ago and has been with the St. Stephen's College for the past 16 years, during eleven of which he has been warden.

At the close of the dinner Mr. Ng Sze-kwong addressed those present. Speaking of the guest of honour he said that they werd gathered to bid farewell to the Reverend W. H.
