The Problem of the University's Future.

The eldest daughter of Dr. Teo Seen Wan, she was a medical student who was about to enter with the highest hopes for the final examination of the Medical Course. She got blood poisoning and the end came with tragic quickness. A hard-working atud- ent and one much beloved by her follows, her death cast a shadow of great gloom over the University. Her Inther is one of the Univer sity's oldest and staunchest friends and I know that there is no one here this afternoon whe does not re-ocho the sympathy with Dr. T30 has already given expression.
