The College authorities were informed on
22nd September, 1927, that the arrangements were subject to
the approval of the Secretary of State and it was intended
to submit the matter for Mr. Amery's approval when the terms
were agreed upon. I regret that the necessity for obtaining
Mr. Amery's approval was overlooked when the grant was
afterwards made to the College authorities, who were by then
urgently pressing for permission to commence building owing
to the insecurity of their tenure of the premises then in
use. I am satisfied that the College is one to which the
Government can properly grant land on the terms arranged and excellent scholastic buildings have already been erected and
brought into use.

I should be glad to receive your covering
approval of these grants, and the terms and conditions
thereof, copies of which are annexed.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
W.D. Southoch.
Officer Administering the Government.
