Enclosure 2.

The following Resolutions were passed by the Council on the

matter of Resolutions 1-6.

Resolution 1.

Decided that the reprinting of the University Blue Book of 1912 was not necessary as there was already a copy in the Library.

Resolutions 2-6.

No immediate action considered necessary but the Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo gave notice that he might later wish to move a Resolution of the Council with regard to the terms of Resolution No. 3.

Resolution 3.

Resolved that, whilst desiring generally to abstain from expressing any views on the Report of the Committee published in March, 1937, and the Resolutions of the Senate thereon which do not call for definite action on the part of the University,

(a) This Council wishes to dissociate itself from the expressions of regret as set out in the Senate's Resolution No. 3, with regard to the procedure as to the publication of the Committee's findings; and

(b) With reference to paragraph 73 of the Committee's Report and the Senate's Resolution thereon, whilst this Council agrees that the wording of the second part of the paragraph, taken by itself and not in conjunction with the preceding two paragraphs of the Report, might convey an impression derogatory to the professional status of the Professors of the University, this Council is satisfied that such an impression was utterly unintended by the Committee.
