COLONIAL UNIVERSITY GRANTS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

C. D. & W. HIGHER EDUCATION ALLOCATION.

The Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee

at its next meeting, on 10th October, will be considering

the general allocation of the £62 million for higher

education. The Chairman has asked for the advice of the

Inter-University Council on the academic aspects of this

matter and has asked that his committee should be informed

by the Colonial Office of any political factors that ought

to be taken into account in arriving at a general allocation.

Attached is a memorandum from the Inter-University

Council to the Colonial University Grants Advisory Committee

on this subject. It would be convenient if the territorial

departments could send to me before Friday, 3rd October any

comments on the provisional allocation suggested by the Inter- University Council, or on any other aspects of the general distribution of the higher education allocation to which they

wish the attention of the Colonial University Grants Advisory

Committee to be drawn.
