Dear Mr. Gent,

Will you please thank Lord Moyne for his message about the Rhodes Trust Post Graduate Studentships for

Hong Kong University? I notice, by the way, that in your letter you refer to them as 'Post Graduate Studentships' rather than as 'Post Graduate Scholarships' as in your letter of 20th January 1941.

I think myself that this is an improve ment, since Scholarship implies an undergraduate, rather than a post graduate, award. More over 'Student- ship' helps further to distinguish

these awards from the Rhodes Scholar- ships proper.

With kind regards, Yours sincerely,

G.G.C. Gent, Esq.,

Colonial Office

Ellen

Secretary.
