THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, MONDAY; MARCH 17, 1930.

ST. PAUL'S BOYS'

COLLEGE.

CELEBRATION OF THE 80TH

ANNIVERSARY. ́.

BUILDING FUND GIFT.

The history of St. Paul's as one of the oldest Colleges of Hong- kong with an existence almost as long as the Colony itself, was re- lated to a notable gathering at the Theatre Royal on Saturday after- noon, the occasion being the annual distribution of, prizes, and the celebration of the 80th anni- versary of the foundation of the College, and the completion of 21 years' service of the Rev. A. D. Stewart, as Principal.

There was a large gathering of pupils, their parents and other well- wishers of the College. On the platform were H.E. the Officer Ad- ministering the Government (Hou. Mr. W. T. Southorn, C.M.G.), the Rt. Rev. Dr. C. R. Duppuy (Bishop of Victoria), Sir Henry Pollock, K.C., the Hon. Dr. S. W. Tso, Mr. E. Ralphs, (Director of Education), Rev. Paul Tao, Rev. A. D. Stewart (Principal of the College), Mr. E. G. Stewart, Mrs. Stewart, Miss Kotewall, Miss Jones, and Mrs. Wong Siu-pun.

The Bishop of Victoría, as Chair- man of the College Committee, ad- dressed the gathering, calling their attention to the design on the cover of the programme, the artistic work of Mr. Tso Yih-wa, nephew of Dr. S. W. Tso, which depicted a duck (bird of good luck in legend) looking in retrospect over the 80 years of the existence of the College as figured by the letters outlined on its body.

He then announced that the College Extension Fund had been increased by the following dong- tions: Mrs. Jan See-chin, $2,000; ! Sir Robert Ho Tung, $1,000; NỐI Llu Cheuk-ting, -$1,000; the total to date being $17,000.

They welcomed especially, the Chairman continued, Madame Wu Ting-fang, widow of the late Dr. Wu Ting-fang, for many years Chinese Minister at Washington, an old boy of the College and a very generous donor to building funds. Madame Wu, he believed, was over 80 years of age.

From Shanghai, they had re- ceived the following telegram: "Long Live our alma mater. St. Paul's Union, Shanghai College."

College's 80th Year.

The Bishop said: We meet here to-day for a three fold purpose: (1) To celebrate the 80th anniver- sary of the founding of this College; (2) to celebrate the com- pletion of twenty-one years' ser- vice of the Rev. A. D. Stewart as Principal; and (3) to initiate plans for advance for the future.

After outlining the history of the College, the Bishop said:

We have vivid memories of one prize- giving when His Excellency the Governor stood on a covered plat- form handing out prizes to boys who rushed from under the shelter of a neighbouring verandah, while the rain splashed dismally on rows of empty chairs.

To take the last of these problems first. There is obvious need for the school to expand into the Ward- en's quarters. But no bishop has a right to risk leaving himself and his successors without a residence. The house that the Bishop occupies is more than a private concern of an individual bishop, it is an official residence and necessary part of a bishop's equipment for his work, and more especially in a place like Hongkong. Here I will only say that if this problem of a bishop's house could be solved, it would con- siderably case the other two pro- blems.
