In the matriculation examination held in June, 1949, 100 candidates passed out of a total of 253, representing 40%, compared with 62% who passed in 1948 and 52% who passed in 1947. Entrance to the University is not, however, restricted to those who pass the University matriculation examination. A large proportion enter on other recognised qualifications, many students coming from Malaya.
Early in the year the University entered the Fulbright Agreement by which funds from the sale of American surplus war supplies to Great Britain are made available for the exchange of facilities for research between American and British institutions. Arrangements have been made for the first American under this scheme to visit the University for research in Far Eastern Economics.
The income of the University during the academic year 1948/49 was $2,183,694 and the expenditure $2,095,504, giving a surplus of $88,189. The Government makes an annual grant of $1,500,000 towards the cost of running the University.
