pleased to confer a Knighthood on Mr Mody the honour
could not be more fittingly bestowed and more fully
deserved. If Your
ourLordship should consent to recommend
Kr Mody for this mark of His Majesty's appreciation
for his public services I would suggest that I may be
allowed to make the announcement at the ceremony of
t
laying the foundallon stone of the University which I
anticipate wial take place in about two months
5
'time.
His Majesty's Government has signified ita
approval of the University project by granting a sum
of £ 300 per annum for scholarships, and His Majesty
has been most graciously pleased to shew his personal
interest by directing that the holders shall be called
"King Edward VII Scholars". The project originated with
Mr Mody's offer, and should Your Lordship be pleased to
recommend to His Majesty the high honour I have suggested
it would be viewed no doubt as a further mark of His
Majesty's approval, and would be a stimulus to the
raising of the balance of the funds still required.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's humble, obedient servant,
Haugary
Governor, &c.
