Lane, about three quarters of a mile apart. A lecturer taught in the main building to a class assembled in the Science Building over an amplified telephone system. Radio Hong Kong generously supplied the necessary equipment, which also made it possible for the class to ask the unseen lecturer questions. The Hong Kong Telephone Company contributed to the experiment by allowing the University to hire the necessary casual lines. The result of the experiment justifies a repetition over a longer distance. ADVISORS VISIT JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT Members of the University's Advisory Committee on Journalism and Mass Communications visited the Journalism Department of New Asia College on March 9 , t o see for themselves how it was functioning. The visitors, joined by Professor Mason R. Smith and Dr. Michael T . K. Wei of the Department, were entertained at a luncheon party by New Asia's President T.C. Ou at the College. After the party they proceeded to the Department, which is located in the building of the Mencius Educational Foundation on Boundary Street, to inspect facilities and meet the students in an informal and friendly atmosphere. They stayed about an hour and most of them promised to go back for occasional visits. The Committee, chaired by Mr. N.J.V. Watt, Director of the Hong Kong Information Services, has many leaders of the local journalistic world as members. (See the last issue of this Bulletin for memberships of the Committee.) The Committee gives invaluable advice from time to time on the development of journalism education in the University and renders generous assistance in various ways. Many newspapers managed by the Committee members have donated scholarships to the University's journalism students. EXCHANGE PROGRAMME WI TH THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Dr. Charles H.
