FURTHER ACTION.

Recine W

Min Resting

I was interested to have, your letter of

the 31st of January on the subject of the

Iuture of Hong Kong University enclosing

a memoranuům from Professor Brown, Dean oI'

the faculty of Science.

The Iuture or the University is a

matter which we have kept well in the

1 orefront of our considerations about

Hong Kong for the past year or so and tho

Secretary or State has now established an

ad hoc Advisory Commitee to consider the policy which should govern its

resuscitation and advise upon the most

appropriate means of carrying out that

policy. In this connection the conception

of the University as an instrument

a

British policy in Chinyet Avehicle for

the presentation of "the British way of

parent

life", is, of coured a major consideration. The Committee is a representative body

including the President of the General

Medical Council, four members of the

Asquith Commission, Mr. Sloss, Vice- Chancellor of the University and

representatives of the Foreign Office.
