SAPIENTIAL

Tel. No. 1956.

Code: A. B. C. 5th Ed.

My Lord,

25th March, 1926.

The needs of the University of Hongkong have been

carefully considered and I now put forward on behalf of the University complete proposals for its development and expansion.

Two new Faculties are contemplated - a Faculty of

Both

Chinese and a Faculty of Science. The capital same required

for the establishment and maintenance of these two new faculties

are roughly and respectively $1,148,000 and $844,000.

these figures are exclusive of the cost of building and equipment.

The needs in these matters are dealt with under the general head

"Buildings".

For the development of the Faculty of Medicine the

additional capital sum required is $1,305,000.

This includes

a new Department of Biology and $550,000 for the construction and maintenance of new me di cal buildings which will accommodate

among other things the Department of Biology.

For the development of the Faculty of Engineering the

additional capital sum required is $730,000.

This excludes the

cost of constructing new buildings but includes the cost of the

new equipment which these buildings will require.
