MR. KOTEWALL'S SPEECH. Origin of Portrait of Sir

Cecil Clementi

Your Excellency, I have been asked by the Vice-Chancellor to state briefly how this portrait came to be presented to the Uni- versity. Shortly before Sir Cecil Clementi's departure for Singa- pore in February last, his Chinese friends in Hongkong felt that His Excellency's service to the Colony in general and to the Chinese com munity in particular should be commemorated in some tangible way and they thought that such a memorial could best take the form of a portrait in oils to be hung in Government House or the Univer sity main building, or in other public building. Sir Cecil chose the University, Clementi which readily accepted the gift.

some

The subscribers were pleased with the choice of place, which they considered singularly appro- priate. Himself a distinguished scholar of wide repute, Sir Cecil Clementi has rendered signal ser- vice to the University, having been closely associated with it from the days of its frail infancy. He is the author of its Anthem in Latin verse, and from the day he became its Chancellor, he worked with un- tiring energy in its interests. I think I am voicing the sentiments of the staff when I say that his sympathetic understanding and practical support in a time of harassing financial difficulty have been to them an inspiration and a solace.

Sir Cecil Clementi's services to the Colony are fresh in the minds of the community. Foremost among them was his wonderful success in restoring and then

strengthening the friendly rela- tions between Kwangtung and Hongkong which, on his arrival in 1926, he found to be strained to the breaking point. And more than any of his predecessors he succeeded in promoting a spirit of | goodwill, co-operation and har mony among all sections of this cosmopolitan community. He will ever live in the memory of the Chinese as their real friend, and as a ruler who aimed at furalamen- tal things, and achieved them, for the good of the people."

I have now the honour, on be- half of the subscribers, to ask Your Excellency to unveil the. portrait which will show itself to be the fine,achievement of a gifted artist, Mr. A. Shister, of Singa- pore.
