My dear Sir Stephen,
I did not acknowledge receipt of your letter of
27th June, regarding Chinese Indemnity scholars studying in
this country because, before doing so, I wished to consult
the Chairman of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Princi-
pals.
./.
We are agreed that as regards Chinese Indemnity
scholars other than those in the University of London no
action is necessary as, in the event of war, they will pre-
sumably remain in their Universities or will leave this
country.
I have heard it mentioned that a number of them
will go to the United States.
As regards the students in London, I am now writing
to the University of London asking them to what extent arrange-
ments can be made for the evacuation of Chinese Indemnity
scholars from the various colleges of the University to the
receiving Universities. You may be interested in the attached
list of Boxer Indemnity scholars studying in the University of
London. I shall inform you in due course of the numbers for
which provision can be made in other Universities.
The engineering apprentices who have come here under
the auspices of the Federation of British Industries are, of
course, no concern of the Bureau. I suggest as regards these
the Universities China Committee, 16, Gordon Square, W.C. 1.,
should be consulted.
Sir Stephen Gaselee, K.C.M.G.,
C.B.E.,
S.W. 1.
Yours sincerely,
ws, hair.
Secretary.
