Sir,

6. # 81

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG.

8th June, 1937.

In continuation of my confidential despatch

10 of 1st June, 1937, on the subject of the Report of

the University (1937) Committee, I have the honour to

inform you that the matter was further considered at

a meeting of the Council of the University held on 4th

June, 1937, when the following resolution was

unanimously adopted:-

2.

"That the Council do refer the Report to the

Senate with the request that that body, having referred the relevant portions of the Report to the Boards of the Faculties, will in due course transmit to the Council its views on the Report together with the views of the Boards of the Faculties.

The Council would be grateful if, in setting out its own views on the Report, the Senate could indicate the extent to which it agrees or disagrees with the several views recorded by the Boards of the Faculties."

The University is now in vacation and no

further action is to be expected until the Report is

considered in detail by the Boards of the several

Faculties and by the Senate in September. As the annual

Budget is not presented to the Court of the University

until November it is anticipated that there will still

be time to consider any agreed retrenchments which

could be effected in 1938.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

W. G. A.ORMSBY-GORE, P.C., M.P.,
