in a case like the Canton University which is being established

to meet the urgent requirements of the moment. I therefore beg

to submit for the approval of His Majesty that for the first five

years the following departures from the regulations of the Board

shall be allowed:-

(1)

Admittance to the University shall not necessarily be limited

to scholars who have graduated in a higher grade school. The

number of such students is at the moment limited, and in order that

we may not be short of students for the university it is necessary

to widen the scope of the regulations covering the admittance and

allow admittance to all officials who have a degree of Kui Yan or

Kung-Shang and upwards, as well as those officials who have the

rank of Magistrate and upwards. This class of men will be either

well educated or rich in experience, they will have the confidence

of the people and be better able to solve the difficult problems

that are likely to arise in the future. They have long been

connected with the official world, and cannot be removed from it;

it is therefore wise to send them to a university.

(2) The term of study should be five years instead of four. Four

years is the term fixed by the Board on the assumption that all

university students are graduates from a higher grade school. Aɛ

some may not have attained that standard of proficiency it is

advisable to extend the term of study by one yeer.

(3)

Scholars from other provinces should be allowed to join the

University. The establishment of a university is an expensive

undertaking and which certain provinces may not be able to afford.

If scholars from other provinces are admitted, we shall receive

more fee8, Again it is a rule that no official of the 8th rank

and upwards is allowed to serve in his native provinces; if the

university is open to scholars from other provinces, this pro-

vince will be able to benefit by the service of the graduates of

its own university.
