Dear Mr. Mayhew,

A year ago, March 22nd, 1930, you wrote to me about the Hong Kong University. We had a subsequent conversation of which you made some notes, and since then we have had several discussions at the Advisory Committee.

I went yesterday to London to attend a meeting of the Universities Bureau, by which the China Univer- sities Committee was set up, and we had considerable dis- cussion on the subject of the Hong Kong University and the Boxer Indemnity. I regret that I have no record of what passed between us, and I should be very grateful if you could find time to dictate a note telling me just how the matter stands in relation to the Advisory Educa- tion Committee. That Committee is of course primarily concerned with education in Hong Kong and the University, but this matter is very much wrapped up with the second grant to the Universities Committee, and I am anxious if possible, to obtain from that Grant some further assis- tance to the University, and to co-ordinate as far as possible, the different agencies, i.e., Universities Bureau, China Universities Committee, and the Advisory Committee on Education, which are dealing with this matter.

A.Mayhew Esq.,

2, Richmond Terrace Whitehall,

S.W.1.

Yours sincerely,

Lugares
