Hu Shih's whirlwind visit and talks in Hong Kong (1935)

The notice above was adverted on the Hongkong Telegraph. _[1]
The Grand Hall of HKU is the present Loke Yew Hall. It was renamed to the latter in 1956.

In Hu Shih's work, he mentioned that he had five public speeches in the 5-day visit Jan. 4 to Jan. 8. Three in English, two in Mandarin.
The English ones are in detailed coverage in print.

   The Chinese Renaissance   (Jan. 4 night at HKU)
   The Scientific Renaissance  (Jan. 5 lunch)
   Has China Made Progress during these 20 years ?  (Jan. 8 lunch)

Dr. Hu's actual itinerary was very packed every day during the visit, but I only found one Mandarin speech with title explicitly so far. (tba)
In one work, what he described of Hong Kong's scenery is quite unique. It may be good to share his writeup later. 

One untitled talk was less mentioned. On Jan. 4 evening, he was one of the guests of honour in the Euro-American Students Association* dinner.
Two other guests were Dr Chiang Mung Ling and Dr Herman Liu. _[2] Dr Hu in this brief speech reminded the returned students that :

    they were the real people behind the Chinese Nation for they had been sent abroad,
    away from their kith and kin, that they may gather something from the countries they have visited and
    bring it back with them to China. _[3]                                                                                (* 歐美同學會)

This speech was possibly delivered in Mandarin, but may need more info to support.

On Jan. 7 afternoon, Governor Peel and Dr Hu both were awarded the LL.D. in turn in HKU. As a result, this created an interesting scenario for the award presentation. One more step had to be added in the order of procedure, as the Governor is also the Chancellor of the University.

On Hu Shih's Diary, he clearly wrote down :

    Jan 8 am
    . . . 
    Went to Miss Katey Wu_[4]'s St Paul Girls' College for a visit and talked. 
                                                                         
If to choose a historic place to remind of Dr Hu's influences on literary reform, Chinese language and thoughts, where in HK may be better to be chosen ? 
In fact, his Mandarin speech on literary reform and education had raised great reactions on mainland. Even English newspapers also reflected
some signs. For example, Hongkong Telegraph cited the Reuters info from Shanghai :

   Dr. Hu Shih, the noted philosopher, arrived here aboard the S.S. President Hoover after his tour of the South, in the course of which
   he was honoured by the Hongkong University. Dr. Hu declined to make any statement regarding the cool reception which he encountered
   in Canton... _[5]
