person employed by him at the clinic is not a fit person, where the premises in question are not suitable for use as a clinic, where the income derived from the clinic is not used towards the promo- tion of the objects of the clinic, or where the clinic will not be under the continuous personal supervision of a registered medical practitioner. The Director, however, is empowered to exempt, up until the 31st December 1966, any clinic in existence on the enact- ment of the Ordinance from the requirement that it should be under the supervision of a registered medical practitioner. The Ordinance enables inspection of clinics and the making of regula- tions to govern the duties and responsibilities of persons operating clinics and the standards to be maintained in clinics. Clinics are defined in this Ordinance in wide terms but some nine classes are exempted, including doctors' and dentists' consulting rooms, licensed physiotherapy clinics and registered dispensaries; in addi- tion, six forms of treatment are excluded from the meaning of 'medical treatment'.

Higher Education. Following the Report of the Fulton Commis- sion, 1963, the Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance was enacted to establish and incorporate in Hong Kong a federal- type Chinese University in which the principal language of instruc- tion is Chinese, and of which, as Foundation Colleges, the three post-secondary colleges-Chung Chi College, New Asia College and the United College of Hong Kong-form part. The government of the University is achieved through the medium of a Council which is the governing and executive body of the University, a Senate which, subject to review by the Council, is responsible for instruction, education and research and the conferring of degrees and other academic distinctions, and a Convocation, consisting mainly of graduates, which is advisory, being empowered to make representations to the Council or Senate as to matters touching the interests of the University. The University is authorized to confer the degrees of Bachelor, Master and Doctor in the Faculties of Arts, Science, Commerce and Social Science, and in such other faculties as it may prescribe.
