My dear Steel. Maitland,
264 Downing Street, S.W.1. 19th June, 1923
With reference to your mention of Zimmern as
a candidate for the post of Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong University, we have now heard unofficially that the present Vice-Chancellor does propose to retire next spring.
We are making a careful note of intern' 8 Haine for consideration with others, if, as will most probably be the case, the Governor communicates with the Secretary of State with regard to the appointment, which of course is not in the Goverment Service.
But I ought to let you know that, apart from other candidates who may come forward, there is a likely candidate whom the Governor and we too regard
as having outstanding claims to the post, if he should
wish for it, and be in a position to take it up.
Your ever,
Within gove
Sir Arthur Steel-Kaitland, Bt., M.P.
