FURTHER ACTION

Dear Professor Roxby,

We are most grateful for the trouble you have taken to give us your views on the future of Hong Kong University, particularly in relation to the needs of China and the British Council's work there, as set out in your letter of the 30th August. I am the more distressed, therefore, to find that no letter of acknowledgement on this subject has hitherto been sent to you.

Our consideration of the problems connected with the future of the University was suspended for a time pending the arrival in this country of Mr. Sloss, the Vice-Chancellor, who is now about to set up an ad hoc Advisory Committee to consider the policy which should govern the post-war situation of the University, and to make recommendations as to the steps immediately necessary to restart the work hitherto undertaken by the University. We should like to have the benefit of your help and advice on this Committee, but since that is not possible, we are proposing to circulate to members a copy of your letter.

I will, if I may, keep you in touch with the progress here, and if there are any developments in China bearing on the future of the University, we should be most grateful for your further help.

Yours sincerely,

I. J. M. back

To

PROFESSOR P.M. ROXBY.
