Abstract
The Hong Kong College of Medicine abandoned its decades-long quest for its own buildings and agreed to become part of the new University of Hong Kong. The University Senate held its first meeting on 28 February 1913, at which its first Vice-Chancellor, Sir Charles Eliot, recognized “the seniority of the Faculty of Medicine” within the University. Paradoxically, towards its very end, the college obtained what had eluded its grasp for more than a quarter of a century: recognition of holders of its diploma “to practice medicine and surgery.”

Lindsay Ri de, “The Antecedents” in The University of Hong Kong: The First 50 Years, 1911–1961, ed. Brian Harrison (Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 1961). Ride mistakenly reported that the amended Medical Registration Ordinance was enacted on 4 December 1914. It was actually enacted the day before.
