My dean Moves,

You were good enough to discuss with

J.R. Masson and A. Morse in February last certain

questions relating to the future of the Hong Kong

University (vide your letter to me dated February 3823rd) and by the mail which carries this there will

go to the Colonial office the report of the Committee

which I appointed to consider and advise upon the

right development of the University, under my commenting

despatch.

This letter is to commend most warmly to

you Mr. D.J. Sloss, the Vice-Chancellor. He has gone

home on duty-leave at this time principally because he

and I and others interested in the University's future

are convinced that now and in the next few years China's

urgent need for help in her reconstruction offers to the

University a singular opportunity of taking its proper

place in education in the Far East.

Sir Henry Moore, K.C.M.G.
