Degrees conferred by this Emergency
Committee (to be known as "The University
of Hong Kong Medical Degrees Emergency Committee") will have the same validity
in Hong Kong as if they had been conferred
at a congregation of the whole University and

To Sir T. Southorn only. I very much hope
that you will be able to help us in this matter
by agreeing to accept the Chairmanship of this
Committee. The Committee should have little

not anticipate that it need meet more than two
or three times. We should be most grateful
if you could undertake this. I am approaching
you and the other members suggested for the Committee semi-officially in the first instance.
