Sir,

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

to the HongKong University.

2. 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.

3. The second is a General Committee repre-

senting the HongKong University's interests in

The Under Secretary of State,

COLONIAL OFFICE, S.W.
