OBITUARY.

THE LATE MR, O YAU-SHEUNG.

Friends and acquaintances will be at once grieved and surprised to hear that Mr. O Yau-sheung, of Queen's College, passed away in Canton on the night of the 18th Inst

The late Mr. O. Yau-sheung was the eldest son of the late Mr. O Kwan-sheung, of Hongkong Gov- ernment Civil Service. He was born in Canton in 1900 and educat ed in Queen' College. He passed the Hongkong University Matricu lation Examination in 1921 and distinguished himself by obtain- ing a Hongkong Government Education Scholarship tenable at the University. He came out of the University, to become, till his death, a member of the staff of his Alma Mater

During the 27 years of his life the late Mr. O. Yau-sheung was highly respected in the society in For which he found himself. many a friend his magnetic per- sonality has been a constant ob- His ject of fervent worship. noble character and great learn- ing have made him, unconscious both to himself and to others, the central figure in his literary coterie, The depth of his know- ledge of human nature and his breadth of view concerning the great future of China have been universally admired. One of the many aims of his shart. life was the promotion of mass education in China. He was one of the founders and for two years the Hon. Treasurer of the Chark Kwan Free School, which has done so much for poor Chinese children in the Colony.

Profound sympathy will be fort for the members of his family in their bereavement.

There will be a Memorial Meet- ing held on Sunday, the 18th of Sept., at 3 p.m. in the Studenta" Union, Hongkong University, an friends are earnestly requested to attend-Contributed.
