You will remember that, at yesterday's
meeting of the Advisory Committee on Education,
the Committee recommended the circulation of
Professor Forster's address on Universities in
China, referred to by Lord Lugard, to members of
the Committee for information. I recommend
also the circulation with this address of the
extract, A B on pages 11 and 13 of attached South
China Morning Postfrom the Congregation address of
the Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong University, since
it contains very important information (and
encouraging also) regarding arrangements for Chinese
students in this country. I have just received
this copy from Sir William Hornell, without any
covering letter, but I am sure that he would
welcome circulation to the Committee.
If your Department sees no objection, could
you send on this to Mr. Poynton for necessary action?
Lord Lugard has received a printed copy of Professor
Forster's address, which was locally printed. I
am not aware of any other copies in this country.
If Professor Forster is to be asked by letter to send
printed copies, it will mean a great many weeks'
delay, and there might be difficulties about cabling.
It looks, therefore, as though it would be necessary
to have the address roneo'd.
