concurrence of both the Governor and the Vice-
Chancellor in the action which was proposed to be
taken by the University authorities on the Report,
it was decided to adopt the Governor's strong recom-
mendation that the idea of an enquiry by outside
experts in the near future should not be pursued for
the time being. It was felt that the Secretary of
State was properly able to rely on the Governor's
judgment and knowledge of local conditions, and on
the newly appointed Vice-Chancellor's expert know-
ledge of University affairs under Eastern conditions.
It should be noted, however, that the
idea of a more comprehensive enquiry by a Commission
representing outside expert opinion has not been
abandoned altogether. At the same time, since the
future of the University must be intimately affected
by its relations with South China, it is felt that
such an enquiry would be more valuable when peaceful
conditions have again been established in that area.
