That orders for Physics, Chemistry and Biology textbooks and equipment sufficient for 100 students be placed immediately.

That apparatus for the teaching of Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemis- try, Pathology and Bacteriology to a class of 40 students be ordered immediately.

That an early decision be made as to the types of Engineering Course to be taught and equipment ordered accordingly.

That, in the absence of sufficient equipment and apparatus, teachers be required to emphasise the practical side of their subjects to classes by means of demonstrations of experiments, use of visual education methods, moving picture film, projection of microscopical slides, etc. in such a way the lack of experimental apparatus, microscopes, etc. during the earlier terms could in a large measure be compensated for, until the arrival of complete sets of equipment.

That the immediate proposals for the reconstitution of the Univer- sity should not prejudice the long term policy of transfer to a larger and more favourable site.

That, as far as possible, the recommendations of the Committee on University Development be incorporated in the plans for present rehabilitation. Such recommendations would include a larger number of Scholarships for students, cheaper cost of University education, the need for modern equipment, development of the Queen Mary Hospital as a University Hospital with proper Hostel accomodation for students, modification and improvement in the types of courses offered in Arts, Science and Engineering, emphasis on the importance of Post-Graduate Refresher Courses in all subjects and development of a closer liaison with the Universities of china and with the Chinese Ministry of Education.
