Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge Mr. Read's letter of August 30th No. 27069/1912 relative to the Hong Kong University.

  1. The Council of the University have appointed two Committees in England. The first named the "Selection Committee" consists of the body of gentlemen who select candidates for Indian and Colonial Educational appointments. Their services were most courteously offered by Sir John Struthers of the Scottish Educational Department with whom alone we have corresponded. I am not aware of the names of the Members of this Committee, but Dr. Heath of the Education Department appears to be the working head of it, and I had considerable correspondence with him relative to the appointment of Sir Charles Eliot as Principal. Any enquiries as to appointments could be referred to this Committee.
  1. The second is a General Committee representing the Hong Kong University's interests in England.

The Under Secretary of State,

COLONIAL OFFICE, S.W.
