MODERN LANCUAGES: The place of Modern Languages studies would
almost inevitably be slight in a University
already based on biglish and Chinese studies than in a Provincial
British University of comprarble scope.
Novorthelogs for
practical reasons provision for the teaching of French would havo
to be made. Further, because of the importance of the Portuguese
element of the local population and because of the part Portugal
played at an carlier stage of European relations with the Far East
it was thought that studies in that language, history and literature
were to be regarded as a field for cultivation as the University
strengthens.
GEOGRAPHY: The study of Geography on modern methods has not
yet made great headway in China. It was thought that
an experimental beginning should now be made and that a staff
should be appointed consisting of:
1 Reader of Geography

IACULTY OF SCIENCDS:
Here, except for tus provision of good
honours courses in Chemistry and Physics,
and of provision for the training of research workers on a
modest scale.
Scholarships to enable promising graduates to
work in British laboratories which are much more likely to be
able to provide the most modern equipment would probably be more
fruitful in results than an attempt to equip laboratories in
Hong Kong for research in a multitude of directions. It may be
time will disclosc fields of research in these sciences
wherein Hong Kong might take an essential part, but there is no
means of forecasting when and to what area these fields may be.
