5th August, 1931, drawn up by Prof. L. Forster out-
lining a comprehensive scheme of scholarships which
would have the effect of drawing a regular influx to
Hong Kong University of students from the interior of
Chine, a limited number of whom might be granted post graduate scholarships tenable in England, the object being to enable specially-qualified students to proceed to England for special study and training. His Ex-
cellency commended the consideration of a scheme on these lines to Sir Reginald's Committee, and recommend- ed that if such a scheme were found practicable steps might be taken to ensure that Hong Kong University got a fait share of any post-graduate scholarships that might be instituted by the WWWWW Universities China Committee. It was also suggested to Sir Reginald that Lord Lugard's views on the subject might prove to be of much assistance to the Committee....

Sir Reginald undertook to recommend that Hong Kong University should have a representative or 'corresponding" member on the corresponding committee which he said it was proposed to establish at Peiping to advise his London Committee. Sir Reginald also undertook to press upon the attention of his Committee the need for obtaining recognition of Hong Kong Uni- versity degrees by Universities in Great Britain be- cause unless this were done the whole scheme for estab- lishing post-graduate scholarships would be frustrated. The vice-chancellor promised to send Sir Reginald a detailed memorandum on the subject."
The memorandum referred to at the end of the above extract will be submitted to the Committee as soon as it has been received from Hong Kong. Meanwhile. we consider that it
•
would be premature to discuss, in this Report, the question
of the recognition of Hong Kong degrees by British universities.
