WILLIAMS'S COLLEGE

ese Bund opened Jast Monday Williams's College on the Chin-

with addresses from the president and faculty, more than 400 students being crowded into the assembly hall, which has been so outgrown that the preparatory students could not be admitted. The col-loge, founded a little more than three years ago, by a returned student, T. Y. Liu, now has over 600 students. Liu's father, a Honolulu merchant, sent his son to the University of California, where he received a degree in 1917. Thence he went to Franco and England to observe European education, with the idea of meeting what he considered China's greatest need education.

When he came to Shanghai he took a house near the West Gate and organized a school with seven students. Increased attendance led Mr. Liu to lease a large temple with adjoining courts on the Chinese bund. The faculty now numbers nearly 30, Chinese and for eigners.
