HC Deb 21 November 1912 vol 44 cc517-8W
Sir JOHN JARDINE

asked whether any steps have yet been taken by the Lieutenant-Governor of Burma or the Governor-General of India in Council to create a university in Burma; and, if so, what has been done in the matter and what remains to be done?

Mr. H. BAKER

The Burma Government have lately had under consideration a proposal for establishing a provincial university submitted by the Burma Edu- cational Syndicate. They have expressed their willingness to support it on being satisfied that the province is ripe for a university and that the finance of the scheme is sound. It has not as yet been before the Government of India.
