    Members of the Medical faculty of Hong Kong University discuss the future of the University 'on the hillside beside the entrance to Tweed Bay Hospital'. They agree unanimously that schools of dentistry and tropical medicine and hygiene will form part of the post-war University.

    This leads to a meeting of the Univesrity's Senate at which Dr Lanchester will present the dentistry propsoal in more detail. The Senate will make no immediate decision but set up a sub-committee to look at the whole question of the University's reconstitution.
