I can assure you that such an incident will not
recur while I am Vice Chancellor. I have always recognize d
the necessity for increasing the number of Chinese on the
University staff and I appreciate the fact that that necess-
ity has become all the greater now that we are on the point
of getting £265,000 from the Boxer Indmanity - a contribu-
tian which we should not have got at all, if Dr. C.T.Wang
and his colleagues had opposed the wishes of His Majesty's
Government in this respect. It has, however, been my ex-
perience that it is not easy to find Chinese who are qumli-

Chinese students go to British Universities; many more go
to America and those who do well there are generally taken

we want specialists. The Chair of Pathology is still vacant,
but so far as I know in the whole history of the University's
Medical School, only one graduate has specialized in patho-
logy and its allied branches and he was a Malay Dr. Musta-
pha Bin Daman. We recently advertised locally for an Assis-
tant in Pathology to succeed Dr. Osman, but got a very poor
field of applicants. Very few of our own graduates take
post-graduate courses and I imagine this is largely tme of
■ universities in China generally. However I shall ace
