Draft letter

is enclosed

(27)

I have already suggested to Dr. MacGregor, the Director of Medical Services at Singapore, that he might write to Dr. Alan Gregg, Director of the Medical Sciences Division of the Rockefeller Foundation, and sound him about the likelihood of endowing a Chair in Public Health at the College of Medicine in Singapore, and I am not sure that in the circumstances it would be a very wise thing for me to write to him now enclosing a copy of Sir William Peel's notes because the latter constitute in effect an invitation to the Foundation to establish a Professorship in Preventive Medicine and Hygiene.

The Foundation has already endowed three Chairs at Hong Kong, namely those in Surgery, Medicine and Obstetrics. This was in 1921 and no doubt they are now prepared to consider further benefactions to the University. But they do rather prefer these things to come from the Colony concerned, at least in the first instance, and I think that in the circumstances it might be a good thing to ascertain from Dr. Selwyn-Clarke what has actually happened in this connection. It is quite possible that something is in train and any action at this end just at present might be ill-advised.

Actually teaching in public health (or preventive medicine) is now on a rather better footing than formerly because Dr. N.C. Macleod, the Deputy Director of Health Services, is lecturer and has assumed responsibility for the whole course

arrangement is working smoothly.
