In this connection it may be explained that the sum subscribed by the local Chinese community amounted to $200,000. This sum has increased by accumulation of interest and by the addition of the funds subscribed specifically for Chinese Studies in previous years. The fund at the end of 1932 will amount to
about $280,000.
The proposal for a modified matriculation examination under special conditions for those Chinese students who wish to enter the new groups of Chinese Studies has also been accepted and special arrangements will be made to enable students at present in the School of Chinese Studies to complete their
studies.
The abolition of the School of Chinese Studies as at present constituted and the adoption of the proposals contained in the Report of the Special Committee appointed to advise on the future provision for the teaching of Chine se at the University

are subject to the approval of the Court of the University. Court will meet in December unless a special meeting is called.
I For practical purposes/venture to suggest that it may, reasonably, be assumed that the Court will endorse and adopt the Report of the Committee which has been unanimously accepted by the academic
bodies and the Council of the University.
