On 17 October 1963, the Chinese University was inaugurated at the City Hall. The ceremony was hosted by Sir Robert Black, then Governor and University Chancellor. Sir C.Y. Kwan, then Chairman of the Provisional Council, presented the official copy of The Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance, enacted in September of the same year, to Sir Robert Black to mark the establishment of the University. From then on, students of Chung Chi, New Asia and United Colleges became university undergraduates. Over the past half century, the ordinance has kept evolving with the times. To view the original set of ordinance, please view the Chinese University Bulletin, Supplement to Vol. 1 No.1 at here.
