(E) Machinery for carrying out the purposes of the

Universities China Committee in England.

It will be necessary for the Universities China

Committee to create machinery for the proper discharge of its

various functions, both in England and in China. In this sub-

section we WWW propose to deal only with the machinery which in

our opinion should be set up in England.

If effect is given to the various proposals made

in this Report, including the WSSENFWEH foundation of Visiting

Lectureships and Research Fellowships, and the promotion of

Chinese studies in Great Britain, it is obvious that a great

deal of organizing work will have to be carried out in London.

There will also be other duties to be performed to which little

or no reference has been made in the foregoing pages. Some

of them are alluded to in the First Schedule to the China

Indemnity (Application) Act, which enumerates the specific

Purposes for which the sum of £200,000 was granted out of the

Indemnity Fund to the Universities China Committee. These

purposes are described as follows:-

(i) to arrange for such Chinese men and women to

visit and lecture in the United Kingdom and

such British men and women to visit and lecture

in China as may seem to them suitable;

BY

(ii) to assist Chinese students coming to the

United Kingdom to find hospitality and suit-

able living accommodation;

(iii) to advise Chinese students as to their course of studies in the United Kingdom and as to

other matters connected therewith;

(iv) to encourage and facilitate the teaching of

the Chinese language and literature at the universities of the United Kingdom by the

endowment for those purposes of professor- ships and lectureships, or otherwise;
