one whose
Scholarship
temmates 21/12/38
on the assumption that the annual grant of £300
from H.M.G. would be received as in the past
(paragraph 2 of enclosure 3).
In paragraph 4 of the despatch the
Governor expresses the opinion that the present
would be a peculiarly unfortunate moment for the
disappearance of this annual grant, and I think
this opinion is quite justifiable.
As the Governor
says, it would indeed be a pity were a temporary
cessation of payment by H.M.G. to give the impression
that the latter's interest in the University were
waning.
? Subject to Mr. Mayhew's obsons. and
the comments of the Accounts Department, reply that
provision of the grant of £300 will be included in
the U.K. estimates for 1939 to 1940 which are now
to
in course of preparation; approve the utilisation
of the surplus for increasing the number of
scholarships to be granted in the next few years;
and say that the S. of S. would be glad to receive
details of the scheme which is finally agreed upon.
