War specialised teaching in echanical and Electrical
Engineering had been suspended and we are offopinion that it should be abandoned and that the University should concentrate upon the strengthening of its Department of Civil Engineering. In the opinion of the Committee such students as wish to qualify in echanical and Electrical Engineering should do so by way of a science degree in the ap, ropriate subjects, with the addition of coursea in the principles of Engineering and in Ingineering Drawing. On graduating they shouldhave no difficulty in obtaining entrance to the second year a british University. It would be far cheaper and better to provide scholarships for good students to follow this scheme than to provide staff, buildings and equipment locally/to meet a demand which will not be great.
Architecture.
in
plan
A considerable number or Civil Engineering graduates are working in China and in hong kong as architects or es melcers of constructional engineering fires engaged in
building. at no very great cost it would be possible to develop in Hong Kong a School of Architecture working in close association with the Department of Civil Engineering. The proposal is peculiarly relevant to our project as hitherto the Chinese Universities have done very little to develop training in architecture and yet China in the next decade is going to need the work of very large numbers
of trained men. e therefore favour the establishment on a modest scale of a school of Architecture which might make a useful contribution to China at this stage.
