The Council of the University has approved the recommendations of the Faculty of Arts and of the Senate and

arrangements are being made to provide the requisite funds for

financing the scheme with effect from 1933. Steps are being

taken to recruit, if possible, a modern Chinese scholar, as Reader in Chinese, to build up the new Department of Chinese Studies and to direct its teaching.
