April 3rd, 1907.
Your letter of the 26th ult. to the address of the
Registrar of the University of London on the subject of the
School of Chinese has been forwarded on to King's College for
reply.
The School of Chinese in the University of London is
located at King's College, one of the Schools of the University.
The School of Chinese is not self supporting and could not be
carried on were it not for the assistance of certain members
of the China Association, It receives no subsidy either from
the Government or from the University. I enclose detailed
statement of the Accounts of the School from the time it was
taken over by the College up to the end of the last Academical
Year. The fees received are something under £150 a year,
while the subscriptions amount to about 2350 a year on the
average.
I should however explain that a Chair of Chinese has
been in existence at King's College since 1846 and possesses a
small endowment bringing in about £80 a year. The Chair has
been held for many years by
always been a few students.
ir Robert Douglas and there have
The School established by the
China Association is now amalgamated with this Department as
will be seen from the enclosed prospectus.
I would venture, in view of the enquiry as to the
Financial position of the School of Chinese, to point out that
the Income from voluntary subscriptions is a precarious one,
and to express a hope that the Principal's letter of the 9th
March 1906 on the subject may receive favourable consideration.
