H is Excellency the Chancellor, Sir David Trench, conferred degrees on graduands of the University. Vice-Chancellor Choh-M ing L i addressed the congregation in Mandarin, presenting “ a clear description of the University's organization and the relationships among its elements in the hope that this w ill lead to better understanding and firmer support". A Graduation D inner was held at President Hotel the same evening to give an opportunity fo r the new graduates to meet the Chancellor, members of the University Council and the College Boards of Governors, and leaders of the local community.
