Report.
58. To strengthen that liaison we consider that steps should be taken to implement the University's authority, under section 4 (7) of the Ordinance, to have some say in the pre-graduate education of the Colony.
59. In particular it seems essential that the Chinese School at the University should become less of a watertight compartment than at present. We contemplate the teaching of Chinese in the Colony, and the relation of that teaching to English studies, as a well thought out and unified system reaching from the elementary school to University graduation.
60. On the basis of calculation already em- ployed in the other Faculties the cost of the Arts Faculty for the month of January, 1937, was over $14,000 and the total number of students in the Faculty in the same month was 114.
Resolutions of Senate and Faculties.
The Senate wishes to recall that in 1931 a committee considered and reported on the posi- tion of Chinese Studies, and that as a result of the finding of that committee, provision was made for linking and comparing Chinese courses with Western Courses in new Groups of Studies specially created for the purpose; and that this work has been facilitated by recent appointments in the School of Chinese Studies, where the Chinese professor and lecturers appointed are men thoroughly conversant with western culture and with the English language.
"
The Senate would like to be informed of the exact basis of calculation on which the separate cost of each Faculty was estimated, especially with reference to "the appropriate portions taken of certain courses shared with other Facul- ties (para. 23), as any apportionment of such cost between the Faculties is likely to be most inequitable unless it is made in proportion to the actual numbers from each Faculty who attend courses which in some Faculties are compulsory and therefore taken by all students, but in other Faculties are optional, and taken by very few.
