Lately H. B. M.'s Consul-General at Canton has person- -ally handed to me Your Excellency's letter with a copy of the specification and the rules of the proposed University. I have read them and are deeply impressed with respect for your“ efforts. People in this world are growing more and more every day, and those who are responsible for the welfare of the public must hold it as a matter of first importance to enlighten their intellect and to develop their means of living. Your Excellency's view of the proposed University is that applied science is most important and that medical science should, in the interests of public health, also receive immediate atten- -tion; and that with the gradual development of the scheme, Law, Chinese Literature and Ethics would be included. In the in-

troduction it is declared that'there shall be no regard for difference of race and of creed', which shows that the Univer- -sity is to be for the general benefit of all.

If this scheme is successful, Chinese and European- students will greatly benefit and the standard of education will also be promoted. The relation of the two countries will become more close, and better understanding will exist between the two Governments. Your Excellency's good ideas will receive my hearty support. I shall find means to raise money in aid of the University funds as requested by Your Excellency. If any substan- -tial amount is obtained, it will be transmitted to you. I shall be glad to have several copies of the printed specification of the University for distribution, and for raising subscriptions.

I have etc.,
