KING’S COLLEGE.
YESTERDAY’S OPENING CEREMONY.
In the presence of a large gathering His Excellency, Sir Cecil Clementi, K.C.M.G., yesterday afternoon formally opened the now King’s College on Caine Road, and in doing so described it as the finest school building in the Colony.
The school and visitors assembled in the Great Hall at half past two and until three o’clock, when His Excellency was timed to arrive, selections were rendered by the band of the King’s Own Scottish Borderers. Scouts and members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade were also present, the former being under the command of Mr. Lam Tsung, and the latter directed by Mr. Leung Sui-sang.
When Sir Cecil Clementi arrived, accompanied by Capt. A.J.W.Whyte, A.D.C., the Governor’s flag was hoisted on the flag staff. His Excellency was welcomed by Mr. Morris and a large official party.
Mr. Morris handed to His Excellency the key to the main door, saying, “I gave the honour to request you to unlock the main door and formally declare the building open.”
In accepting the key and unlocking the door His Excellency said, “It gives me very great pleasure to open this building.”
The assembly bell was then rung and the Governor entered, being followed by the visitors.
Official Party.
In addition to His Excellency, the Governor, the official party on the platform included Major General C.C.Luard, C.M.G., Mr. W.W.Hornell (Vice-Chancellor of the University), the Right Rev.

The Headmaster then requested His Excellency to unveil the School Shield and a portrait of the late Mr. Chan Shek-shan, the donor of the Chan Shek-shan scholarship. These two were placed on opposite sides of the platform and were concealed from view by droppings of red. His Excellency removed the coverings and when the shield and portrait were unveiled thunderous applause broke out.
The School Report.
Prior to reading the School Report, Mr. Morris presented to His Excellency a ceremonial key.
Then followed the presentation of a report by the Headmaster (Mr. A.Morris), published in last evening’s Telegraph.
The Governor’s Speech.
His Excellency then spoke as follows: Mr. Headmaster, I rejoice with you that the official opening of King’s College, so regrettably delayed, has at last been accomplished and I wish the school a long, honourable and successful career. The career of the school under another name and in other premises has already been a long one, dating back to 1879. Next year, therefore, it will celebrate its jubilee. Its career hitherto has also been honourable and successful, especially so since in 1905 you, Mr. Morris, became its headmaster. It was a fortunate circumstance that four years later your wife, Mrs. Morris, joined the staff of the school. You and she have been its father and mother and under your parental care and guidance the school has expanded from an average attendance of 51 pupils in 1905 until the present year, when 700 pupils are on its roll. I congratulate you on this fine achievement and I am very glad while that you are still headmaster, the school has now been worthily housed.
King’s College bears a proud name. It has the finest school buildings in the Colony; and it has a headmaster of proved ability assisted by a capable staff. Under very favourable auspices it now enters on a new era in its history and I wish it a right royal future of usefulness and beneficence.
Three cheers were then lustily given for His Excellency, for the visitors, for the Headmaster, and for the College.
Those present then left the hall and proceeded to inspect the building, while a string of crackers was fired on the Western Street side of the building.
Teas, light refreshments, and cigarettes were provided, the caterers being Messrs. Lane Crawford.
