1. It was explained that due to the short time available the minutes of the Fifth Keating had been prepared in great haste. A number of minor changes were accepted verbally and it was agreed that amepied minutos should not be recirculated.

2. It was agreed that the Report of a Sub-Committee (consisting of Kessrs. Adamıs, Hinton and 3less) on the proposed establishment of a Department for social Studies which was laid on the table at the previous moeting should be numbered HKUAC 29. The Committee approved this Report and ugreed with the proposal to institute degree courses in social sciences, but expressed the opinion that it would be a mistake too strongly to emphasise the professional purpose of the diploma course. The view was expressed thut this faculty particularly might be used in the furtherance of British and } hinese cooperation.

3. It was alreed that the staff required as a beginning to maintain this Department would be:-

1 Professor of social Philosophy -

3 Lecturers (distributed according to the choice

of subjects).

1 Lecturer in Law and Jurisprudence,

1 Lecturer in Chinese economic practice.

4. It was agreed provisionally that the Report of the Sub-Committee (HKUAC 29), antended on these lines should be accepted as an appendix to the Raport eventually to be submitted by the Committee to the 30cretary of state.

5. The Committee considered in detail the draft note prepared by r. Sloss, embodying its recomendations to date. A number of amendments wore agreod and have been included in the revised note (HKUAC 31) the most important sections of which have been circulated to members.
