My despatch No.146 of 7th June.

Hong Kong University.

I have agreed to set aside £250,000 from the C.D. & W. Higher Education Allocation as recommended

by the Inter-University Council Visitors for capital work in connection with the development of the University. The following paragraphs deal with the arrangements to be made for the submission of

enclosed in (34) on 19275/107/48 detailed C.D. & W. schemes up to this limit.

(wording where edges are

2. I consider that it would be convenient and also more in keeping with the University's independent status if the University rather than the Government

of Hong Kong were the administering authority for

C.D. & W. schemes. In order for the University to qualify as an administering authority it will be

necessary for certain conditions which are set out

in my predecessor's circular despatch of the 29th September, 1949 to be complied with; I enclose for your information and for the information of the University authorities two copies each of this despatch and of a subsequent circular despatch of 9th January, 1950.
