Vice-Chancellor's Report 1978-82

It is also important to remember that a major source of strength of Hong Kong lies in its cultural and linguistic diversity and the Government's commitment to an economic policy of positive non- interventionism under which individuals can develop and give fu ll rein to their natural talents. And I have every confidence that the Government will continue to have this commitment firmly in mind when weighing the recommendations of the Report by the Visiting Panel. The Chinese University is, even after nineteen years of its robust existence, still a very young institution insofar as universities go. Its heritage and declared mission are considerable and its growing pains have not been slight. Nevertheless, for some of its achievements we are justifiably proud, and I look forward to even greater accomplishments by the University on its present path. It is indeed the great privilege of a Vice-Chancellor that he should present to the public the achievements attained by the joint efforts of all teaching and non-teaching staff and, no less, the students themselves. On their behalf I present this Report. To them all I owe my gratitude. MA Lin Vice-Chancellor March 1983 55
