FAREWELL TEA TO DR. SHELLSHEAR

Professor J. L. Shellshear, Pro- fessor of Anatomy at the Hongkong University, was the guest of hon- our at a tea-party given by mem- bers of the Univeralty Medical Society in the Union Assembly Room yesterday. The occasion was his forthcoming departure on long leave.

"Addressing the gathering, Dr. G. H. Thomas, who deputised in the absence of Professor Robertson, President of the Society prevented by indisposition from attending, referred to the close bonds which bound the students to their Pro- fessor of Anatomy, observing that only those who had worked with him could have appreciated his full worth. A man of many parts, they had in him also a historian, author of "The Prehistory of Hongkong," whose discerning eye could read more in what had appeared to them as a common piece of rock to shy at each other, thoughtlessly and irreverently (Laughter).

Professor Shellshear's acceptance Concluding, Dr. Thomas asked of a silver cigarette case as a memento of his association with the students, with medical injunction that the Professor, was smoke too much. They wished him not to an enjoyable holiday. (Applause).

Work Handicapped,

in returning thanks for the gift, Professor Shellshear touched upon a serious note when he refer- red to the financial difficulties with which the Medical work of the University was handicapped. What they wore receiving from the Boxor Indemnity Funds, he said, was barely enough to maintain q good nasistant in one department of the work only. Periodical sub- acriptions while something to bo thanked for, were not reassuring, as what they really need waa endowment fund.

Next year, he continued, was the 21st anniversary of the foundation of the University, and he earnestly hoped, na one who could view such | matters with deep concern from the unique experience of having been half that time closely con- nected with the work, that a special effort would be made to mark the uvent by a maturialisation of what was called for.
