I do not fail to understand

Sir. Caldecott's feelings and it would be inadvisable for him to be Chairman of the Committee in these circumstances; do not imagine he would be ready to be convinced that anything should be done at this stage in practical preparation for the restoration of the University as a university. I venture myself to disagree with him, at least on present information,

and I think it would be something of a disaster if we returned to Hong Kong without a definite intention to restore and adapt the University as a British cultural institution to serve the purpose of promoting Sino-British cultural relations with such Faculties and special lines of research (e.g. our Fisheries Research scheme) as the imagination of the Committee may recommend.
