尚書張百熙、榮慶既為學務大臣，別置大學總監督，亨嘉遂被命任校事，仍不離內廷職。 After Ministers Zhang Baixi and Rongqing became Ministers of Education, a separate post of University Superintendent was created; Hengjia was then ordered to manage university affairs while retaining his inner-court duties.

大學既負時謗，言官奏稱本朝定制，部官大率滿、漢相維，請更設滿大臣主教事，乃增命榮慶爲管學大臣。 The university was already widely criticized. Censorial officials memorialized that under dynastic custom ministry offices were generally shared between Manchu and Han officials, and asked that a Manchu grand minister be added to preside. Rongqing was accordingly appointed co-superintendent of studies.

榮慶意不謂可，而百熙持之堅，親至站送諸生登車。 Rongqing did not think it advisable, but Baixi held firm and went in person to the station to see the students off as they boarded the train.
