1. It was explained that due to the short time available

the Minutes of the Fifth Meeting had been prepared in

great haste. A number of minor changes were accepted

verbally and it was agreed that amended minutes should

not be recirculated.

2. It was agreed that the Report of a Sub-Committee

(consisting of Messrs. Adams, Hinton and Sloss) on the

proposed establishment of a Department for Social

Studies which was laid on the table at the previous meeting

should be numbered HKUAC 29. The Committee approved

this Report and agreed 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 that this faculty particularly

might be used in the furtherance of British and Chinese

cooperation.

3

It was agreed 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 Jurispudence
