The influence of such a body in Chinw is bound to be felt, and in congratulating the promoters of the movement on success attending their efforts, we must confess that {t is a pity that it was not done before. What is required now is, that all the old London University men throughout China should be brought into touch with this organization and 80 make it fully representative of the great institution which mothered so many professional and business men now at work in the country. Within three months the Society hopes to have in_ its possession. details of courses sand vacancies at the University, and so to become a centre of information and guidance for all who anticipate going there.
