PROF. W. J. HINTON.

LEAVES THE UNIVERSITY AFTER SEVENTEEN YEARS.

The following is from the cur rent fasue of the Journal of Law and Commerce of the University of Hongkong:

ין'

It is among our very first taske, and a most unpleasant one, on se- suming the editorial chair, to an nounce the retirement of Professor W. J. Hinton, who will vacate the chair in Political Economy in the University of Hongkong at the end of the First Torm of this year, Professor Hinton leaves us to as- gume the post of Director of Studios in the Instituto of Bankers, London. He will also give lec- Hures in the Geneva School of In- Lernational Studies during this summer session of the School. Wo are led to bellevo that these are occupations after his own heart, and, if so, we heartily rajoice with him. On the other hand, we are constrained to record our sincere regrets upon the loss of an inspir ing teacher and a true friend to all who have had the good fortune to have studied under him. The University too, will be the noorer upon his departure, for Professor Hinton has been unsparing in hin efforts to promote the cause of

Hot weather imposes a severe friction lond on your automobile engine. This stress becomes oven greater, when you drive at high speeds over open country roads or crawl along with frequent sinrts and stops in congested city traffic. Dramatic proof of Gargoyle Mobiloil's hot-weather auperiority is found in facts like these:,

Mobiloli lubricated the first cars to cross the, Sabora Desert in 1923,

Mobiloil lubriented the first motorcycles to go over the same routo in 1927.

Mobiloil lubricated the first cars to travel Morocco to Cape Town in 1920.

We are confident that we voice the sentiments of all members of this Society when we tender to him our appreciation of the service which he has rendered to the Unl- versity, to the Faculty of Arts, to the Department of Commerce, to the student body in general, and to his own students In particular, during his connexion with the in- stitution from its very beginning to the present time, and to heartily wish him every success and enjoy- ment in his new work, as well as health, long life, prosperity and happiness throughout his days.

Our idea of a fitting valedictory was to present a twenty blography of Professor Hinton's career, with, special reference to the seventeen years which he spent in the University, during which lime he Tormed one of the plilora of the structure. But we were admonished against anything 80 ambitious, his natural modesty causing a blank refusal to divulge any Johnsonian anecdotes to an enger Boswell. In spite of this, we have in mind a meré able his- torlan who we will try to puräunde to undertake this important task, | the fruits of which labour we hope to have adorn the pages of our next issue,

Professor Hinton will anticipato his, departure from the University with a great deal of apprehension. The sudden severance from his Chinese students, after the almost daily meetings of the past seven. teen years, will undoubtedly be n shock to his well-ordered mind. As an antidoto for this disorder and as a scheme to broaden the horizon of undergraduates of the University, he is sponsoring a plan for travelling scholarships which in our humble opinion is a most commendable one. It is connected with his own activities in London and at Geneva.

The Geneva School of Interna- tional Studies opens ench year In July and is in session through the months of August and September. The following extract is from the prospectus of the School:

plays the music

LAST week the Clarks invited us over

to see their new automatic Victrola. At their house that night we experi enced the greatest musical surprise of our lives.

It savored of magic. We heard a constant stream of the most wonder-

ful music flowing from a cabinet for an hour. With nobody standing within fifteen feet of the instrument. The Philadelphia Orchestra.. Chaliapin... Sousa's Band ... The Revelers

George Olsen... it was like having a pano- rama of the world's finest music unrolled before you by an obliging genie. The music was so real, so lifelike, that each artist seemed to be

present in person. Aladdin and his lamp could have done no more.

The New Orthophonic

Bill went up and peeped under the cover. So

did I. We saw an almost-human ̈ mechanism that set each record aside as it was played, then put on the new record, and the needle swung into position for another delightful selection.

.it

The four of us picked out a second group of records, and placed them in the Victrola. That was all. We didn't have to touch the instrument after starting it. We simply relaxed and enjoyed the music.

[

Afterwards, Bill said it was wonder- ful but cost too much money for us. Betty Clark laughed. It hadn't cost a

« quarter as much as our car out there in the driveway, and the dealer had al- lowed them to pay for it by the mouth. You don't have to ask the next question-we ordered ours the day be fore yesterday.

"The idea of the courses emanat. ed from students. In the spring of 1924 the representatives of a number of European national stud- ent groups, known as the Federa-i tion Universitaire Internationale, met in Prague to form an inter- national organization. They saw the need for a place where stud- ents might study International problems and have opportunities for exchanging ideas. They asked Prof. Alfred Zimmern, their Hono- rary President, to undertake the establishment of such a contre. Accordingly, Prof. Zimmern or- ganized a series of lectures and sions proved so successful that it groups, a preparatory course and Inasmuch as Professor Hinton ably one from the.
