FURTHER ACTION.

28 July, 1945.

For Mr. Gent's signature.

My dear Morse,

We have now obtained a proof of

the proposal, which you remember we

discussed together, that a small informal

Advisory Committee should be established

to undertake responsibility for planning

the resuscitation of Hong Kong University.

As you know our idea is that one of the

first functions of this Committee will be

to decide what full-time staff will be

required to assist them. It is proposed

that this planning staff should be housed

at Park Street with the Hong Kong

Planning Unit and they should study the

problems involved and make recommendations

to the Advisory Committee in regard to

such matters as the assembling of University

staff at different stages, the collection

of equipment and the priorities to be

given to the re-establishment of the

various faculties.

We would expect that the Committee

itself, with your advice, might make

recommendations as to the disposal of

University funds and that it would frame

a short term policy, bearing in mind the

various
