views of Professor Lindsay Ride's in this letter, but as owing to the surrender, he is probably now already in Hongkong, and temporarily out of reach, I am unable to do so.
Assuming you have no objection, I am copying this letter to Rev. Noel Slater of the Board of Christian Colleges, who asked me to keep them informed of my recom- mendations about Hongkong University.
Yours sincerely,
